Moving on from primary school to secondary school can be difficult for children, young people and their families. Our new Flourishing Families Project require volunteers to help with both a group based in Hamilton and on a one-to-one support basis.

The role will require the volunteers to do the following:

• To offer time to a young person on a 1:1 or group basis on a weekly basis for 2 to 3 hours, sharing outings and activities
• To build up a trusting supportive relationship with the young person
• To establish and maintain appropriate boundaries within the befriending relationship
• To be aware of and work within COVEY policy, procedure and practice
• To offer acceptance and understanding to a young person
• To be reliable and consistent
• To maintain close communication with COVEY staff through regular support and supervision
• To inform staff of any concerns about the young person
• To respect confidentiality
• To work with an anti-discriminatory approach
• To attend additional training throughout Befriending.
