Volunteer Independent Visitor

Cheltenham, United Kingdom Change Grow Live Full time

Overview:
For many children and young people living in foster care can be unsettling. You can make a difference by volunteering as an Independent Visitor.

We are currently looking for Volunteers in the Tewksbury, Walton Clifford, and Bushley areas.

**Responsibilities**:
Independent visitors support a child or young person on a one-to-one basis. Young people are offered the chance to meet with an Independent Visitor if they have little or no contact with their own families. As a volunteer you are there for the child or young person; a positive role-model who is independent and distinct from the paid professionals they see.

You will meet with a child or young person once a month to offer support, encouragement and guidance. This could involve taking part in a fun activity together or simply having a chat.

If you would like to be there for a child or young person, letting them know they have someone on their side, then this is the volunteering role for you.

We will support you in this role by ensuring that you receive regular supervision, and have a key contact 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 Volunteer Independent Visitors/people who use our service had to say (use quotes from your service)**:“I like the team spirit, that we all bring something different and we always put the people who use our service first”.**

**Or**

**“Seeing people move in their treatment journey and seeing a zest in life coming back in their lives is so rewarding”.**

**Or from a service user**:
**“ Me and my key worker get on really well and this benefits me, coming to Change Grow Live gives me stability”.**

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