We need you to help us get the SSAFA message out

**When would you be needed and where would you be based?**

- Supporting local and national campaigns to recruit for new volunteers
- Being a positive ambassador for SSAFA including all sections of the community in awareness raising
- Volunteering within the standards and values of SSAFA including observing our policies such as the Volunteering policy and data protection policy (these will be covered in your training and local induction.)

**What are we looking for?**
- Friendly and approachable people with good communication skills
- Good written and spoken English
- Reliable attitude
- Ability to maintain confidentiality and keep information safely
- Access to public transport or a carto get to meetings and events

**What can you gain from this volunteering role?**
- Use your skills, knowledge and life experience to benefit others
- Support from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
- Experience, training and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews
- Better physical and mental health -studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression

**What about training and support?**
- Communication and Marketing workshops for Publicity Coordinators
- On-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
- Access to a range additional e-learning courses as well as local opportunities for your personal and professional development.
