We are looking to extend our team of volunteers in order to enhance the support services we offer to those affected by domestic abuse throughout the borough of Reigate & Banstead and the districts of Tandridge and Mole Valley. Opportunities include:
- Direct client support including 1:1 befriending, ad-hoc support at various appointments and helping with our group work programme.
- Other roles may include, but are not limited to, helping with event planning, publicity and awareness raising, helping out in the office etc.
-
Volunteers with personal experience of domestic abuse welcomed (subject to adequate recovery time), however personal experience is not essential.
- The majority of support needed will be during office hours and therefore availability during weekdays is desirable, as is the ability to drive and access to a car.
- We are currently only able to accept female volunteers for the direct client support roles.
What skills do I need?
No specific qualifications are required but the following list of requirements is essential:
- Ability to be non-judgmental, empathic and flexible in approach.
- Good communication & listening skills.
- Ability to work within confidentiality protocols.
- Willingness to attend on-going training, supervision and volunteer meetings.
- Access to own transport is highly desirable.
- All out of pocket expenses reimbursed.
