Job description

Join Addiction Family Support

Addiction Family Support is a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting adults affected or bereaved by a loved one's harmful use of alcohol, drugs, or gambling.

The Role: Family Support Volunteer

As a Family Support Volunteer at Addiction Family Support, you will play a key role in offering emotional and practical support to individuals impacted by a loved one's addiction. Whether through our helpline or support groups, you will provide a compassionate, non-judgmental listening ear, helping individuals navigate challenging circumstances.

This is a flexible role that can be delivered remotely or in person, depending on the service you support. Family Support Volunteers work within a flexible rota system to accommodate their availability and commitments while ensuring ongoing support for those who need it most.

Responsibilities:

  • Offer empathetic and non-judgmental emotional support to individuals impacted by a loved one’s addiction.
  • Provide relevant information, literature, and resources to help clients or group members cope with their situations.
  • Facilitate or co-facilitate support group meetings, encouraging members to share experiences and offer support.
  • Respond to inquiries and offer structured emotional support via the helpline or support groups, adhering to guidelines and safeguarding measures.
  • Maintain accurate records in line with GDPR and the charity’s policies.
  • Participate in ongoing training, mentoring, and support sessions to enhance your skills and knowledge.
  • Handle any potential safeguarding concerns and signpost clients to additional services when necessary.

Training and Development:

All Family Support Volunteers undergo a comprehensive three half day training programme covering addiction, core counselling skills, the 5-Step Method, bereavement, safeguarding, and self-care. Ongoing supervision, mentoring, and further development opportunities are available to support volunteers in their roles.
