Supported Family Time Volunteer

What will you be doing?

• Support children and their parents when using our supported service on Saturdays and sometimes during the week
• Help us create a safe, friendly, positive, non judgemental space for families
• Be part of our friendly, dynamic, supportive team

What are we looking for?

We welcome professional experience of working with children and families, with a minimum of 3 years’ experience in Social Care, Counselling or other relevant roles. We're especially keen to hear from people who have experience working with Dads, children with additional needs and people who have experienced trauma.

But don't let that put you off! The main skills and qualities we are looking for are:

• Empathy and compassion
• Active listening
• Reliability
• Teamwork
• A calm, impartial and non-judgemental approach
• Good communication skills
• The ability to maintain professional boundaries

What difference will you make?

Your help, experience and expertise will enable children to spend time with the parent they don't or can't live with, to build connections and enjoy time together. Your emotional support will offer comfort and stability and in addition you will be helping us develop a supportive community network for separated families. 

Anything else...

Every other Saturday between 8.30am and 12.30pm.
