Responsibilities

As a Criminal Justice Support Volunteer, you'll play a vital role in helping people rebuild their lives after prison. Working alongside Recovery Coordinators and local Criminal Justice Services, you'll support people through community orders and licence conditions, assist with assessments and one-to-one support, and help individuals access the services they need during their transition back into the community. Lived experience of the criminal justice system or substance misuse is welcomed but not essential.

 

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. 

 

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. 

Values Based Conversations will be held the week commencing 9th November 2026. 

Volunteer training will be held once a week for six weeks on Mondays, week commencing the 23rd November. Please note successful candidates will need to be available for all training days.
