Volunteering for us
Do you have a few hours per week to spare?
Do you:
-
enjoy helping people?
-
work well as part of a team?
-
have a commitment to equal opportunities?
-
wish to provide practical support to other people, making a positive difference?
Volunteers are the backbone of our service to the public and you could be a part of that service. Volunteers in the bureau give their time as advisers, social policy campaigners, receptionists, IT and admin support workers.
We offer full training and support to people who want to come and volunteer with us. Volunteer advisers have the chance to develop a range of important skills and gain experience that can be a significant help in pursuing a career. It also offers the opportunity to make a contribution to the life of the community that you live in.
Our Adviser Training System is broken down into four parts, which you’ll need to complete to become a CAB Adviser. They are:-
-
Training in the bureau with a guidance tutor.
-
Sitting in with an experienced adviser.
-
External training courses.
-
Supervised interviewing.
