Would you like to join our growing team of volunteers, and make a real difference?_**Addiction can have a huge impact on everyone, including family, friends/loved ones, and communities.

People from BAME communities (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) can be left feeling hurt, isolated, stigmatised and ashamed due to substance misuse.


As a Diversity and Engagement volunteer, you will play a key role within local communities raising awareness and promoting our services, building positive relationships with people who are from a BAME background.

You will be attending community events and forums as well as delivering education and information sessions, providing the community with information and tools around how addiction affects individuals and loved ones.


Your role will also include supporting services to understand the barriers faced by individuals from a BAME community and help services to meet their needs.


Responsibilities:

You will be working with partner agencies, signposting individuals, empowering and assisting them to access relevant services. Advocating for the service user and their families in meeting their needs.


No two days are the same and you will have the opportunity to connect with different agencies, people, and diverse communities.

This is the perfect role for a sociable and outgoing person who wants to help people and make a real difference.

You will be provided with all the skills, training, and support needed to undertake the role.
