Volunteers required to join the Listening Service Edinburgh which offers support on a 1:1 basis to all court users within the public area of the Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Courts. This incudes: signposting to different court locations, helping people find their way around the court system and importantly, providing a listening ear on a non-judgemental, confidential basis. Although we are supporting people, this is not a counseling service. The Listening Service provides training and ongoing support for this role.

Experience required

No previous experience required. Ability to maintain confidentiality, respect all clients and team members, build rapport quickly. Good listening and communication skills and personal resilience required.
