Making the decision to enter treatment, and as part of that, to benefit from group activities and interactions can be daunting for the people we support. You can make a difference. As a Group Support Volunteer with Change Grow Live you will work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be. We are seeking volunteer(s) to work within our groups programme and other recovery support work at community centres in Newark. Groups are currently themed on foundations of recovery and recovery capital, there may be future expansion to cover 'Aftercare' or follow on groups. It would be an advantage to have some knowledge of substance misuse, the ethics and techniques involved and methodology approaches within recovery. You will gain confidence and experience in facilitating groups, knowledge of pathways and approaches to recovery, plus a rewarding experience as participant's Change, Grow and Live. You will need a level of computer literacy sufficient to handle emails, complete online training, and use our patient records system. Whilst your volunteering time will be spent in Newark, there may be occasions when you will need to travel to the nearest parent 'Hub' - which is at Worksop. It is likely that induction training may be held at Worksop and you should be able to use public, or your own transport, to attend. All reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed. We plan to hold value based discussions with suitable applicants one to two weeks after the closing date. The nature of the role necessitates a Disclosure and Barring Service criminal records and barring check, for this you will need three forms of suitable identity documents. We are unable to assist with UK visa and residency applications. We are looking for someone to volunteer with us on weekdays during the daytime. 14/3/2025 John Haskew | john.haskewcgl.org.uk Please note that we require you to be 18 years of age or older to be considered for this volunteering role. This post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check at an enhanced level.
