Volunteering in Substance Misuse Services

Overview

Making the decision to enter treatment can be an intimidating experience for the people we support. You can make a difference.

As a Recovery Support Volunteer with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.

Responsibilities

With this role you’ll be working as part of the south east recovery team, based in Newtoft street.

The team supports people with their drug and/or alcohol issues. 

No two days are the same and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.

We will support you in this volunteering role by ensuring that you receive regular supervision, and have someone on site who you can approach for day-to-day advice and guidance. In return for the time you give you will receive valuable training and gain experience and skills. You’ll be making a real difference too.

This is what one of our Volunteer Support Worker had to say: “I had a great experience with CGL. I was originally accessing my local service and through the support of my worker and coming off the substances, I was able to get involved with volunteering which then motivated me to learn more and eventually I was lucky to get a paid role”.

Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you so click apply.
