Cavdas Volunteer Coordinator

5 months ago

Cardiff, United Kingdom Recovery Cymru Full time

Background to Service:
The CAVDAS Alliance brings together the skills, experience, and expertise of

three Welsh substance use organisations - Barod, Kaleidoscope and Recovery

Cymru - and the Cardiff and Vale Area Planning Board. CAVDAS was formed to

deliver innovative services based on the needs of the people in Cardiff and Vale.

This unique arrangement for Welsh services allows space for the voices of people

using services to be heard and for their needs to be met in the ways that work

for them. That way, we can continue to further develop services as required.

We exist to make sure every individual can get the support, information and

advice they need regarding their own or someone else’s drug and alcohol use.

We support every age group and people can get in touch with us directly or via a

professional referral. We call this our ‘No wrong door’ approach: however, and

whenever people get in touch about any drug and alcohol concerns, we’ll know

how to help. We believe the best services are produced together with the people

who need them and who have first-hand experience of what works well. This is

how we develop our services and why we have a strong, professional peer

support team who are a very important part of our approach.

Purpose of the role:
The value of shared experience is essential to CAVDAS and volunteering is central

to this. This role will support people with lived experience of substance use and

related issues, recovery supporters as well as their families to undertake

meaningful volunteering opportunities, build new skills and support others. The

role will involve advertising, recruitment, selection, induction, training and

volunteering-based support for people to undertake across CAVDAS. A large part

of this is inspiring and supporting people to learn new skills, gain confidence and

utilise these to demonstrate reliability, organisation and commitment, thus

preparing them for other opportunities and the workplace. A staged, individualised

approach is needed to support people to achieve more than they thought they

could whilst ensuring maintaining standards and safeguarding volunteers and

those they support. This role will also involve offering core training to all

volunteers in CAVDAS and liaising with team leads to identify volunteering roles

and vacancies.

Coproduction is central to CAVDAS, and you will have the opportunity to influence,

with the people you support, what we offer, how and where. You will be involved

in the design of new resources with your colleagues to meet the needs of the

people we are supporting. Volunteering is central and you will work closely with

volunteers, offering support, and ‘on the job’ skills development. You will support

the work of Voices Action Change to ensure service users across the system

design, deliver and monitor the work of CAVDAS.

Services are delivered in line with Welsh Government Treatment Frameworks,

NICE guidance (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence), and other

relevant professional standards and legislation.

Individual supervision is provided in line with Alliance partner organisational

policy. Additional clinical support is provided via peer supervision and review

groups. Specific training will be available for the development of service

provision in line with Continued Professional Development.
