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 Volunteer Group support worker 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 Psycho- Social Intervenions team, based in Coventry.

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

As a Group Work Support Volunteer, you will play an instrumental role in supporting the facilitator in the planning and preparation of groups. This will include promoting groups to service users, reminding them of up and coming sessions and engaging with those who do not attend.  You will be provided with training and supported to eventually be able to take the lead in delivering some of the groups and provide one to one support to clients within the group setting. You will also have the opportunity to play a key role in the review and development of session materials including content, handouts and delivery.

 

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 Recovery Co-ordinators had to say about the team “I like the team spirit, that we all bring something different and we always put the people who use our service first”.

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