Overview:
Making the decision to enter treatment can be an intimidating experience for the people we support. You can make a difference.
As a Naloxone Peer Educator with Change Grow Live you’ll be doing outreach with people who are at risk of overdose, training them in overdose awareness, harm reduction, and how to administer Naloxone.
With this role you’ll be working as part of team, based in Edinburgh communities.
**Responsibilities**:
No two days are the same and we treat every person who we come into into contact with as an individual, so being flexible, curious, comapssionate, a good listener and a desire to save lives are key.
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 Volunteers had to say:
- “ it has helped me get out of isolation and give back to the community to help save lives, in the midst of a drug death crisis. It has also helped me to socialise with my peers and make new healthy relationships."_
Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you so click apply.
