Together Drug and Alcohol Service is the commissioned community drug and alcohol provision for Devon. It provides a range of support, interventions and treatments for those wanting to make positive changes to their drug and/or alcohol use, as well raising awareness and supporting family members.
We have a dedicated Criminal Justice Team that helps people who have become involved in the criminal justice system and who wish to make changes to their drug and/or alcohol use. This involves writing reports to the Court in line with community sentencing, liaising with Probation in order to facilitate Court Orders relating to drug and/or alcohol use and supporting those released from prison as they transition back to community living.
Role overview:
We are looking for a volunteer to meet people on the day they are released from prison, who can support these individuals to attend initial appointments across organisations in the community.
This role would be well suited to someone looking to gain experience working within the criminal justice system and who is willing to develop understanding of the challenges the early days of living back in the community can bring.
Individuals with lived experience are also strongly encouraged.
Volunteers would need to be available from 8am on the day(s) they volunteer, to meet clients in the reception lounge of HMP Exeter // HMP Channing’s Wood.
Tasks may include:
-

- Providing a supportive, non-judgemental and listening ear.
- Co-facilitating group support sessions, including SMART Recovery meetings (training provided)
- Signposting to other activities / support the service user to work alongside other organisations e.g. GP or additional mental health support services.
All volunteers are asked to adhere to organisational policies including safeguarding, information governance and health and safety.
We would love you to bring to this role:
-
- A confident and friendly approach
- A willingness to learn
- Ability to problem solve
- Awareness of the challenges / barriers faced by people entering / at risk of entering the criminal justice system
Skills we would like you to bring to the role:

- Confident IT skills – aside from any IT skills required for the role, some of our mandatory training is done online through eLearning modules
- Professional, honest and committed
- Non-judgmental towards people with lived experience of criminal justice, drugs/alcohol addiction and recovery, mental health or other associated issues
- Good time keeping
- Able to work as part of a team, on own initiative and to instruction
- A driving licence and own transport would be an advantage but is not essential
- An understanding of Waythrough – information is available on our website, and you can call a specific project to make enquiries.

Accounting for International Development is seeking an experienced charity finance professional to support a UK-registered charity working internationally to strengthen responsible, low-impact small-scale fisheries.
The organisation works with coastal communities, fishery stakeholders and market actors to improve fisheries practices, support responsible sourcing, strengthen policy engagement and contribute to better livelihoods and food security.
They are now looking for a remote volunteer to review and strengthen their finance systems, reporting routines and use of Xero. Some finance processes, reporting and budget monitoring are currently managed outside the system, and they would value an experienced finance professional who can help them improve consistency, accuracy and the usefulness of financial information provided to senior management and Trustees.
This is not a day-to-day finance role. The assignment is intended as an independent review and strengthening exercise, working with the Managing Director, Finance Manager and selected Trustees to identify practical improvements and develop a realistic action plan.
Key areas of support may include:
- Reviewing current finance processes, month-end routines and reporting timelines.
- Reviewing how Xero is currently being used, including any processes or reporting managed outside the system.
- Supporting improvements to monthly management accounts and Board reporting.
- Reviewing internal controls, financial procedures and consistency of finance processes.
- Identifying key financial risks, control gaps or areas where processes could be strengthened.
- Advising on forecasting, budget monitoring and how project managers provide information to the finance team.
- Supporting the Finance Manager to strengthen monthly reporting and budget versus actual monitoring.
- Providing practical suggestions, templates or examples where helpful.
- Helping develop a clear, proportionate action plan with priorities and timelines.
We are looking for someone with:
- Senior charity finance experience.
- Strong financial management, management accounts and Board reporting experience.
- Experience reviewing or improving finance systems, processes, controls and reporting routines.
- Good working knowledge of Xero.
- Understanding of UK charity finance, trustee reporting and governance expectations.
- Experience with international charities or organisations operating across multiple countries would be helpful.
- A practical, diplomatic and collaborative approach.
The assignment is expected to involve up to 75 hours of remote support over around 3 to 4 months. The organisation expects a minimum commitment of around 4 hours per week, with the exact schedule and workplan to be agreed between the volunteer and the organisation.
This would be a good opportunity for a senior charity finance professional who enjoys helping organisations strengthen their systems, reporting and governance in a practical and supportive way.
Thank you!
