We’re inviting new volunteers to join our adviser training programme starting this April. If you are looking for an interesting and rewarding volunteer role that helps local people find solutions to their problems, understand their rights and fight for social justice then this is the role for you!
No previous experience is needed to join us as an advice volunteer as full training is provided, though you must be good with people, have a friendly and outgoing manner and be comfortable using computers and learning different IT platforms.
Training is mixture of classroom-style sessions (half a day), mentoring (half a day) and self-study (half a day) over approximately nine weeks. Once trained, you’ll be expected to volunteer at least one day a week for at least a year in either Winchester or Wickham. As a volunteer, you’ll continue to receive ongoing support from our experienced team of supervisors and have access to plenty of tea and biscuits!
Volunteering with us offers a great way to increase your employability, build confidence, learn new skills and make an enormous difference to the lives of local people. Our volunteer advisers come from a range of backgrounds including; students, retired people, people getting back into work after career breaks and people with part-time jobs.
To register your interest and organise an informal discussion, please get in touch with Citizens Advice Winchester District by emailing admin@cawinchesterdistrict.org.uk
