Job description

Volunteer as an Independent Visitor today!

An Independent Visitor is a volunteer who spends time with a child or young person in care, offering friendship, encouragement and a consistent relationship with someone outside the care system.

It is a simple but powerful role: being there, showing up and giving a young person positive time with a trusted adult.

Visits are shaped around the young person’s interests and can be as simple as going for a walk, sharing a drink or trying a new activity together.

We welcome adults of all ages and backgrounds who relate well to young people and care about their wellbeing.

What will this give you as a volunteer?

· Comprehensive training to get you started

· Experience with a respected national charity

· Regular support and a named contact

· Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses

· The chance to build your skills

· Being part of a team who are invested in supporting Children and Young People

· A meaningful way to make a difference.

We ask

We ask volunteers to be reliable, open-minded and able to commit to regular contact over time, so the relationship has the chance to grow.

You will need a DBS check, proof of eligibility to work in the UK and satisfactory references before you start. Whilst driving is not a pre-requisite of the role, in line with safe driving policy, proof of license valid MOT and insurance, including business cover, is required to transport a child/young person.

A full description of the role and the skills we are looking for can be found attached.
