Alcohol Support Volunteer

At Change Grow Live, we believe that structured group work is a powerful tool in the recovery process. As an Alcohol Group Worker, you will play a key role in facilitating and supporting a range of group interventions designed to assist individuals in their recovery journey. This will include relapse prevention groups, pre-detox groups, and post-detox groups.

We are a free and confidential drug and alcohol service for adults, young adults, families, carers and affected others across the Wirral. We provide a non-judgemental service, with qualified, experienced staff and volunteers who offer support in health & wellbeing and substance misuse. We can talk to you in several supportive environments, all which have a friendly atmosphere, and provide you with information to help you reduce your substance misuse or to become abstinent.

We are part of Change Grow Live, a national health and social care charity which provides a range of treatment, recovery, and support services for those who have concerns about their drug or alcohol use.

Volunteers contribute to Change Grow Live in a variety of ways. From Admin Volunteers to Service User Reps, from Peer Mentors to Healthcare Support Volunteers, from Independent Visitors to Community Mentors each volunteer brings a unique set of skills and talents. We are incredibly grateful for all that volunteers do to support our service users.

If there isn’t a specific volunteering role listed for the service in your area, or have a skill you would like to donate to us you can use this listing to express your interest.

Most of our volunteer opportunities don’t need any special qualifications. We’ll make sure you get all the training and support you need. All we ask is that you're kind, open-minded and passionate about supporting people.

Everyone is welcome at Change Grow Live. As a volunteer you will be treated with respect and accepted for who you are. You don’t need to have personal experience of drug and alcohol recovery to get involved
