As with any charity, the support we receive from individuals and charitable trusts helps us to continue to provide our essential services. However, support isn’t all about money – we value any kind of contribution you may be able to make to our services or organisation.
We are currently recruiting volunteers for our one-to-one mental health support service (Support and Connect: S+C – Flyer v3 ).
The role is suitable for someone with experience in/or an interest in mental health and ideally able to commit to a minimum of 3 hours a week for 6 months. It offers flexible working to fit with pre-existing commitments.
Volunteers within this role provide a combination of practical and/or befriending support to clients. You will work closely with a key worker to do this.
Practical support could include:
- 1:1 informal meetings/walks with service users in the local community or nearby their homes
- 1:1 support with shopping, getting to/from appointments
- Support with technical devices, e.g. learning how to use emails or access video calls etc.
Befriending involves:
- Regular phone support (frequency of calls dependent on individuals)
- Raising any concerns with key workers
- Keeping clear records of service user conversations
If you would like to apply for this role, please complete and send your application form to jcarpentiere@mindincamden.org.uk
When we receive your form, we will be in touch to have a chat and answer any questions you have.
