Who we are?

We provide advocacy and involvement services so that people are heard in decisions about their health, care and well-being. We’ve been supporting people to be heard in decisions about their health, care and wellbeing for over 40 years. We’re an independent charity and one of the UK’s largest providers of advocacy and involvement services.
 

What are we looking for? 

This role is ideal for people who already have a connection to their community or would like to build one.

These are the skills we are looking for:

• empathy with people
• ability to maintain confidentiality at all times
• ability to act as a representative of VoiceAbility
• good communication
• respect for difference and diversity
• non-judgmental attitude
• organisational skills

What would you be doing? 

VoiceAbility’s service team volunteer role is a varied role that provides support to advocacy service teams in a number of ways.

As a service team volunteer in England, you might:

• support the local advocacy team as needed
• drop off promotional materials at various locations
• attend events or assist in organising small local events
• support staff with presentations
• accompany advocacy staff on visits
• support staff with group advocacy and self-advocacy workshops
• submit regular reporting forms

You’ll need to be able to work independently and safely in various situations. This role will require some travel, so it will help if you have your own transport but do not worry we will cover your expenses.
