**Overview**:
Making the decision to enter treatment, and as part of that, to benefit from group activities and interactions can be daunting for the people we support. You can make a difference.

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

**Responsibilities**:
We are seeking volunteer(s) to work within our groups programme, which are currently held at Howes Court on Wednesday and Vine Way Newark on Fridays. The groups are themed on foundations of recovery and recovery capital.

You will participate in preparation for the groups, administration of them, and facilitation of the material.

It would be an advantage to have some knowledge of substance misuse, the ethics and techniques involved and methodology of recovery.

You will gain confidence and experience in facilitating groups, knowledge of pathways and approaches to recovery, plus a rewarding experience as participant's Change, Grow and Live.

Whilst your volunteering time will be spent in Newark, there may be occasions when you will need to travel to the nearest parent 'Hub' - which is at Worksop. It is likely that induction training may be held at Worksop and you should be able to use public, or your own transport, to attend. All volunteering expenses are reimbursed.

We plan to hold value based discussions with suitable applicants one to two weeks after the closing date.

The nature of the role necessitates a Disclosure and Barring Service criminal records and barring check, for this you will need three forms of suitable identity documents and a provable address history of five years.
