**Bereavement Support Volunteer with Children and Young People**

**Volunteer role at Just’B’**

**Burton House, Harrogate**

**Closing date: 17th March 2024**

**Interviews will be held after closing on 26th and 27th March 2024.**

Denial, sadness, relief, anger, exhaustion, fear, loneliness..... If you feel you have the energy, resilience and creativity to volunteer to support bereaved children, young people and their families, we would be keen to hear from you.

Just ‘B’ provides direct support to children, young people and their families living with bereavement. Volunteers are integral to our work and we would like to welcome new members onto our team.

If you are seeking a stimulating and responsible role and have free time each week to volunteer, then this could be the volunteer role for you

Just’B’ offers a 10-week, programme run by experienced practitioners from the service here in Harrogate. The course will support volunteers in developing their skills, knowledge and confidence in supporting families at an extremely difficult time in their lives.

**Volunteering Hours**:
One after school/evening per week. This equates to working with 4 clients at a time (2 one week, 2 the following week) and will be approximately 3 hours of volunteering time per week for client work.

**Getting Started**:

- Volunteers will then be required to attend the training programme outlined above.
- Volunteers will be interviewed again following the training, providing the opportunity to reflect on the issues raised/discussed during the training.
- Additional ‘top-up’ training will be offered where appropriate.
- All volunteers are required to complete safeguarding and information governance training via our online system ‘we learn’.
- All volunteers are required to complete the North Yorkshire Hospice Care Mandatory Training prior to starting (and repeat this at defined intervals) alongside a departmental induction with your line manager.
- An Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) check will be undertaken before commencing volunteering

**Support**:
Herriot Hospice Homecare, Just ‘B’ and Saint Michael’s Hospice are part of North Yorkshire Hospice Care, a registered charity. We are committed to supporting volunteers effectively and appropriately.

As such volunteers will receive the following:

- Full training to carry out the role (see schedule below)
- A member of the team allocated to them who is available for support and information as needed
- A thorough ‘Lone-Working’ policy, which will be adhered to at all times to ensure the safety of all volunteers
- A monthly supervision session providing an opportunity to reflect on the volunteering experience and receive feedback
- For more details, please see a copy of the volunteer description at the bottom of this page.

**10 week training schedule**:
The training course for this role will run for 10 weeks and will take place on Wednesday evenings (6pm - 8.30pm) at Crimple House.

The course will start Wednesday the 17th of April and run weekly until 26th of June, with the exception of 29th of May where there will be no session.

For more information on the role, please contact us on or on 01423 200145 and we can arrange for you to have an informal discussion with a member of the team.

You will be joining an organisation that is driven, caring, and responsive and you will be playing an important role in enabling us to provide our highly valued services to the communities we serve.

At North Yorkshire Hospice Care we believe that children, young people and adults should never experience abuse of any kind. Every member of our organisation has a responsibility to promote the welfare of all who encounter our services. We aim to keep people safe and to operate our services in a way that protects them; to make reporting concerns as easy as possible and respond quickly; to listen to all worries and work in partnership with individuals and agencies. All our staff and volunteers receive annual training on both adults and children/young people’s safeguarding. This impacts our recruitment processes and we have adopted a number of safer recruitment practices, which our HR and People team can talk through with you.
