Volunteer Advisor

People find volunteering with Penicuik Citizens Advice Bureau a stimulating and rewarding experience. We provide full training and on-going support. Apart from developing new skills, volunteers also enjoy being part of a team assisting the community on a wide range of issues. We recognise that potential volunteers come from a a variety of backgrounds and value the diversity of experiences and life skills they bring with them. We also re-imburse travel expenses for volunteers. We are ideally looking for people who can commit to one session per week at 3 hours per session.

Experience required

The bureau is a friendly place and everyone works very much as a team, training is provided so we are not looking for people who know all the answers, but people with good common sense and life experience. Volunteers receive plenty of support/training
