Dorchester, United Kingdom Circles South West Full time

**Roles & Responsibilities of a Circles Volunteer**

**WHAT IS CIRCLES SOUTH WEST?**

**WHAT IS A CIRCLE OF SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY?**

A Circle is made up of 4 or 5 volunteers and a person who has sexually harmed, referred to as the ‘Core Member’. They meet on a weekly basis for around 12-18 months, at a suitable community venue.

Circles support the Core Member’s reintegration in to the community and hold them to account for their behaviour. This is achieved through talking to them, establishing a rapport, identifying support needs and areas of concern. Volunteers meet together before or after Circles meeting to discuss issues and to offer support to each other. Meeting minutes are provided to the local Circles Coordinator who oversees progress, providing police and probation with regular updates.

Our Young People's Project works with young people between the ages of 10-20 who have sexually harmed and mentors them to move away from harmful behaviour, models good interpersonal relationships and builds their confidence and ability to move forward in their lives without exhibiting any harmful behaviours.

This project is mostly activity based and would therefore suit someone physically fit and interested in working with young people.
