Community Volunteer

Recovery Scotland North Lanarkshire is seeking to expand our team of volunteers.

If you are over 18 and have a passion for supporting individuals in their recovery journey and assisting with community engagement, the Community Volunteer position could be a great fit for you.

Volunteers will assist in our Recovery Cafés, which operate daily in Airdrie, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, and Motherwell. These cafés serve as welcoming spaces for the recovery community to gather, unwind, and socialise over tea, coffee, and light snacks.


This fulfilling role requires a commitment of approximately five hours once or twice a week during café hours.


Ideal candidates will possess strong boundaries, reliability, friendliness, punctuality, and a desire to help others connect within the recovery community.
