A Wellbeing Buddy is a volunteer who is matched with someone who has been referred to us for support for a period of 12 weeks and volunteers with them in person.
Face-to-face Wellbeing Buddies meet their match each week with an overall aim of helping them to build confidence and improve their quality of life. This might involve going for walks with the person, going on public transport with them, assisting them with food shopping or just offering some company in their normal routine.
The time you give to volunteering can be decided by you, as long as you can commit to at least once a week for 12 weeks with one person.
Please note that at the moment, to become a volunteer with us you will need to have some availability during the working week (9-5 Monday-Friday). Wellbeing Volunteers are not able to do this role during evenings and weekends. This is so that there are staff members available for support.
What do you need to become a Wellbeing Buddy?
You don't necessarily need to have experience in a role like this, but any experience in offering objective support to people would be beneficial. We are mainly looking for kind-hearted, personable, reliable individuals who love to chat and can give a small amount of time each week to help someone who needs it. You will be given training and support from the volunteer coordinator whenever needed.
To volunteer, you must:
- Be over the age of 18
- Be able to travel within your local area, whether by public transport, Beryl bike or driving
- Have access to the internet to use our volunteer database
- Undergo a DBS check (free to you)
- Complete the necessary training
What do you get out of it?
Volunteering with us will give you a chance to develop your skills and experience in empathy and active listening, as well as supporting and safeguarding people. We can offer you a rewarding opportunity to help empower people to live their best possible lives, a way of meeting other volunteers and likeminded people and social events for volunteers. We also offer reimbursement for expenses, access to schemes such as free Beryl Bike minutes and opportunities to attend personalised and tailored training and workshops.
How to join us:
To become a Wellbeing Buddy you will need to complete the application form attached to this opportunity (you can also find this on our website). You will then be invited to a an informal meeting with the volunteer coordinator (in person or online). If successful, you will need to attend a short training session at Beech House in Poole. This opportunity requires you to undergo a DBS check (free of charge to you).

WHO WE ARE
Causeway is a national charity that exists to create lasting change for marginalised and vulnerable people. This includes survivors of modern slavery and those caught in cycles of exploitation and crime. We have been supporting thousands of individuals to make progress and thrive for more than 10 years, and we currently work with over 2,000 services users each year. We offer a person-centred approach to trauma support, so that those on their recovery journey feel seen and heard, but not judged or defined by their experiences.
ROLE SUMMARY
How this role fits into the vision and objectives of Causeway
LifeSupply provides material items to survivors of modern slavery. This includes toiletries, bedding, clothes, phones, furniture, personal care items, household essentials, food, toys and gifts. Over £100,000 worth of items were distributed in 2023.
The department receives lots of donations such as such as bedding, clothing and toiletries. We then receive around 10-20 orders from survivors weekly who are in need of these essential items, however we are limited in how many orders we can fulfil due to staff time restraints. We are therefore looking to hire a committed and responsible volunteer to help with this.
As a LifeSupply volunteer, you will assist in organising these incoming donations and packing orders to distribute out to survivors. You will have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of survivors as they take steps towards independence and integration.
What you can expect from volunteering at Causeway
As an organisation we are committed to supporting your success and providing you with a wealth of skills, training and opportunities to enhance your volunteering experience. These will include:
- Regular accredited and in-house training on specialist subjects such as trauma, mental health, safeguarding, working with addictions and much more
- Group Supervision every 6 weeks with qualified therapists
- Support via Staff Networks including an LGBTQ+ staff network
WHAT OUR STAFF SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH US
We pride ourselves on our employee job satisfaction. 100% of people in our 2021 staff survey feel that Causeway positively impacts the lives of our clients and 97% of our staff would recommend working at Causeway to others like them.
Working for Causeway is working in an environment where you can share your ideas. It’s great when your employer hears and sees you, you feel valued and it encourages you to succeed. By having an employer who gives you the tools to reach your goals, makes you more driven and focused on your work. Also, at Causeway I feel part of a team that provides an environment in which vulnerable adults feel safe and valued it is the most rewarding job you could have."
