    Default job background
    Description
    Job Title - Children's Advocacy Helpline Volunteer
    Contract - Volunteer
    Hours - Minimum 1 day a week for minimum of 1 year post training period, Helpline opening hours Monday to Friday 10am-6pm
    Salary - Out of pocket expenses for travel (up to GBP10 per day) and Lunch (up to GBP5 per day)

    Coram Voice exists to enable and equip children and young people to hold the system to account, to challenge and support it to do its job properly and to uphold the rights of children and young people to actively participate in shaping their own lives.

    Our volunteers champion the rights of young people in care and on the edges of care, support them to access advocacy and make their voices heard.

    Training is provided.

    Whether you are currently studying, recently graduated, working part-time, retired or between jobs, volunteering with Coram Voice is a great opportunity to make a difference at the same time as gaining experience of working for a national children's rights charity.

    Our Helpline Supervisors will support you to develop valuable advocacy skills and knowledge of children's rights and we offer specialist training in safeguarding, equality and diversity and advocacy.

    This training and other resources will help you to prepare for the role. You will be joining a team that provides quality support to young people in a friendly and supportive environment.

    Our volunteer team is integral to our service and we could not provide the service we do without them, particularly in terms of the support we offer to homeless children.

    We believe this role will be of particular interest to anyone looking to develop a career involving giving advice, advocacy, children's and human rights, legal work, social work or youth work; or for professionals in those fields who want to use their experience to support the work of a children's charity.

    Please see our candidate information document for more information about our organisation and the training provided.

    We have chosen to recruit directly as this helps us to minimise our recruitment costs, ensuring that funds are not diverted from the children and young people we help.

    Coram is an equal opportunities employer and we believe a diverse workforce enables us to improve the services to the children and families we help.

    We are genuinely committed to encouraging candidates from all sections of the community we seek to support.

    This includes those from, Asian, African, Caribbean and other minority ethnic backgrounds, those that identify as LGBQT+, those with disabilities, those with lived experience of care, those with neuro-diversity, and those from other groups who are underrepresented at Coram.

    We are committed to the safeguarding of children and where appropriate will require the successful applicant to undertake a check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
