PART-TIME

We currently have a volunteering opportunity at our Bromley service area for a Volunteer Befriender for a gentleman we support. If you have a couple of hours to spare and can commit to volunteering on a weekly basis, we’d love to hear from you. Our service is a supported living service for adults with Learning Disabilities.
Are you a warm and chatty person, who’s also a good listener? We are looking for a befriender to visit the service and spend time with our service user who enjoys music, cars, and has a fantastic sense of humour. If you have shared interests then you’d be perfect for this role.
Can you commit to learning Creative Support’s Safeguarding Procedure and be able to implement this if needed? We are looking for a reliable, enthusiastic, caring, supportive person who can join us as a Volunteer Befriender.
Preferred hours per week/time commitment: 2 – 4 hours, once or twice a week. Flexible on days and times, including weekends, mid-mornings and early afternoons.
As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer’s peer support group.
