Volunteer Community Mentor - Luton, United Kingdom - Interventions Alliance - East

Description

At Interventions Alliance our Volunteers play a key role by supporting staff to deliver positive impact through projects that address the range of needs of the participants we work with (predominantly men over the age of 18 years).

Community Support Volunteers help minimise a person's risk of offending/reoffending by supporting them to access vital services and engage in their local community.

Community Support Volunteers act as positive role models who inspire, empower and guide participants to achieve actions agreed on the initial action plan.

They offer personalised, one-to-one support to help improve participants' lives, equipping those they are supporting with the skills they need to succeed and to prevent individuals from becoming trapped in a cycle of criminality.

This is a rewarding role, with many positive outcomes for the participants you will be matched with.

In return for your volunteering efforts we offer extensive training, paid expenses, and high level of support and supervision from a Volunteer Coordinator.

We are looking for kind, compassionate people who have an interest in supporting people involved in criminal justice services.

As a volunteer with Interventions Alliance you can:

• Gain experience working in the criminal justice sector
• Benefit from a range of training opportunities
• Be part of a team, supporting each other to support our participants
• Learn new skills working within an evidencebased approach
• Play an active role in addressing crime in our communities
• Give people an opportunity to put their lives on track

There is an option to offer volunteer support to participants remotely. IT skills are required as there is an administration involved in this role. Volunteering is conducted within core business hours 9am-5pm.
