Volunteer Housing Support

Change Grow Live housing support is designed to support service users in temporary accommodation to manage their tenancy and avoid unnecessary evictions. This cohort will include our hard-to-reach clients who have been through the rough sleeping initiative and are now housed but struggling to engage with meaningful treatment due to a lack of aftercare support.

Change Grow Live is offering an exciting volunteer opportunity to the right candidate. The successful applicant will join the housing support team which aims to support our clients to access and maintain accommodation and recovery. The Housing Recovery Support volunteer will play a crucial role in assisting this team to support at-risk clients in accessing harm reduction interventions, to help minimise any immediate risks, and maintain temporary accommodation and/or independent living which will minimise the risk of eviction. There will be some traveling around the county with a fully qualified recovery coordinator, to support people in their living space in this role.

We can guarantee no two days will be the same and there will be lots of learning opportunities to upskill and have a real impact on the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. If you are passionate about helping others, it would be great to hear from you. Safety is paramount, so training will be provided to ensure all volunteers are well-equipped and supported in this role.
