The Family Mentors volunteer in **Greenwich* provides a listening ear and a helping hand to those who need friendly support and guidance. Practical tasks might include supporting the family to access local services, making plans and routinues in the home or just being an understanding listener for a stressed parent - your support can really make a difference. You do not need any specific qualifcations just a desire to help others in need - a practical 'can do' attitude and a willingness to act as a positive role model. All volunteer activities will be agreed in advance by Volunteering Matters and the referrer, aiming to see better outcomes and happier families.**For many, the experience of volunteering with Family Mentors Greenwich inspires careers like Social Work or Family Support.**

**How will Family Mentors support the volunteer?**

- regularly contact the family at their home (in the borough of Greenwich), in the community or by virtual methods (face to face visits are usually upto 2 hours per visit)
- build a trusting relationship based on mutual respect
- offer appropriate advice/support/guidance to help with the development of improved parenting skills
- carry out appropriate practical tasks to assist the family, acting as a sound role model
- help the family access community resources (e.g. welfare rights advice, housing, health information)
- observe confidentiality
- share issues of concern with the Volunteering Matters Project Manager
- keep brief written records

**Who can be a Family Mentors Greenwich Volunteer?**

A Family Mentors volunteer is a very special person and we are looking for volunteers who have these key attributes:
**Motivation** to fulfill the role, researching how you could support families, also a readiness to take on a challenge and make a difference to a family

**Capability** to understand the needs of the people that we support as well as the role and responsibilities of a volunteer

**Attitude - **a friendly approach, taking time to listen to others and is able to put them at ease. The Family Mentors volunteer will build a trusting relationship with a family and put the family first

**Suitability -** we need you to be able to commit to the project for a minimum of six months, providing regular and consistent support during that period. We ask for two character references and a DBS check (this is paid for by Volunteering Matters). Having a conviction will not necessarily be a bar to volunteering.
