Can you help promote services to local people in your community? Can you help at events and awareness raising sessions?

The Service Team Volunteer role supports in the delivery of advocacy and other services by:

· Helping clients understand about advocacy

· Attending events and awareness raising activities

· Networking and promoting our services and organisation

· Signposting to other services

· Building professional relationships and partnership working

· Supporting our community engagement programmes in your local area

This role is ideal for people who already have a connection to their community or would like to build one.

Experience required

Some key skills/qualities to have are:
· Good communication skills
· A basic level of IT literacy
· Accuracy and attention to detail
· Ability to manage own time and prioritise workload
· Ability to volunteer independently & as part of a team
· A commitment to the aims and ethos of VoiceAbility

Travel details

This role is based at your home and in your local community. Much of the volunteering will happen remotely, but the service is client-led so you must be able to travel round your local community if clients want to meet in person, or to attend networking events.

The service operates Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm so that’s when your volunteering takes place. You may be asked to help out at an occasional evening event, such as with group advocacy sessions, but this is only if it suits you.

Travel expenses

Travel expenses reimbursed.
