Overview

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

 

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?

Responsibilities

As a Criminal Justice Recovery Support Volunteer you will be making a meaningful difference by supporting people involved in the criminal justice system on their journey to recovery.

Working alongside our Criminal Justice Recovery Coordinators, you'll help service users meet their community order or licence requirements and access the support they need to achieve positive outcomes.

 

You'll gain experience supporting assessments, risk management planning, group sessions, and one-to-one interventions. You'll also play a valuable role in helping people transition from prison back into the community, providing encouragement and practical support during a critical stage of their recovery journey.

 

What You’ll Get Out of Volunteering   

  • Personal Growth – Build confidence, learn new skills, share your expertise and gain hands-on experience in health and social care.   
  • Career Development – Access training, gain insight into the sector, and boost your CV for future opportunities.   
  • Make a Difference – Support people in their recovery and help create safer, healthier communities.   
  • Flexible Opportunities – Fit volunteering around your schedule with a variety of roles available.   
  • Join a supportive team – Work alongside passionate, friendly people who share your values.   
  • Feel Valued – Your time and effort will be recognised and appreciated.   
  • Travel expenses - reimburse all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in travelling to the place of volunteering and whilst carrying out any voluntary activities.   

  

As part of your journey with us attending our training sessions is essential to support you in your role.

 

Whether you can commit a few hours a week or want to get more involved, volunteering with Change Grow Live is a rewarding and meaningful experience.   

    

We are committed to creating an environment that respects and values diversity, with a positive and supportive culture where everyone feels welcome, empowered, and represented.   

   

Interested? Please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
