Edinburgh, United Kingdom Change Grow Live Full time

Overview:
Making the decision to enter treatment can be an intimidating experience for the people we support. You can make a difference.

As a Volunteer Befriender with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.

**Responsibilities**:
We will support you in this volunteering role by ensuring that you receive regular supervision, and have someone on site who you can approach for day-to-day advice and guidance. In return for the time you give you will receive valuable training and gain experience and skills. You’ll be making a real difference too.

This is what one of our people who used our service had to say:
_ “I was supported to make personal decisions and choices around improving my own recovery, and I never felt like I was being judged. With my coordinators support I slowly built my confidence up, so I could get back into volunteering and felt like I was part of society and giving back to my community”._

Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you so click apply.
