Duty Team Volunteer

Volunteers make an enormous contribution to our work at Change Grow Live.

There is currently an exciting opportunity to Join our Duty Team as a volunteer here at York.

Last year over 1400 volunteers donated over a quarter of million hours of their time to our organisation.

Would you like to join our growing team of volunteers, and make a real difference?

As we start 2025 there is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Duty Support Volunteer at Blossom Street.

The role will put you front and centre in service provision as the face of CGL in reception, supporting our duty worker giving you the opportunity to be the first face that greets someone when they take the step of coming into service and asking for help.

This is a really privileged role which will give you an insight into working in drug and alcohol services and first hand experience of helping those who reach out for support.

You will need a people focused heart, empathy and a non-judgemental approach.  Treating each person as they need to be treated by seeing them, hearing them and tailoring your response accordingly.

Do you have the heart?

If you do - then we'd love to see your application.

PLEASE NOTE:
*You must be available for interview on Monday 24 February 

*If successful you must be available for training on Tuesday 11 March & Tuesday 18 March (9.30am - 3.00pm)
