Benefits of Volunteering:
Step into a role that offers immense personal satisfaction and the chance to make a real impact in your community. As a Community Emergency Volunteer (CEV), you will be at the forefront of emergency response efforts, working alongside emergency services and other organizations. This role not only allows you to contribute meaningfully during crises but also provides a pathway to progress into more specialized roles within the National Emergency Resilience Support Unit (NERSU) for dedicated volunteers.

Role Overview:
As a CEV, your tasks will vary based on community needs. Activities could range from administrative support, making refreshments, and transporting equipment, to more hands-on tasks like clearing debris from flooding, setting up rest centres, and delivering crucial information to residents.

Skills and Experience Required:
- Must be over 18 years old.
- Applies good common sense in decision-making
- Enthusiastic about helping others in times of crisis.
- Ability to follow instructions to ensure safety.

The frequency and location of your assistance will vary depending on the nature of the emergency. CEV Units are established for each local council area across the UK, supported by County and Regional Leads. While local deployment is the norm, larger incidents may require travel, though this is voluntary.

Support and Training:
Volunteers will receive an online induction and necessary training to perform effectively. Membership with CAVRA includes essential equipment (Polo Shirt, Hi-Vis Jacket, ID) upon application and payment of the annual membership fee. A CEV Team Leader will be present at incidents to coordinate activities and provide support. Volunteers are covered by the Charity’s Liability Insurance, provided all administrative requirements are met.

Personal Growth:
This role offers free training, new knowledge about emergencies, and the chance to develop skills not typically encountered in everyday life. It’s an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, engage in diverse activities, and experience the rewarding nature of volunteering. Improve your mental health and well-being while making a tangible difference in your community.
