Description
Belfast | Hybrid | Voluntary

Permanent | Part-time / Volunteer | BRC2454

The British Red Cross is searching for local people to act as
Community Connector Support volunteers.
Loneliness can have a devastating impact on people's health and wellbeing.

British Red Cross volunteers are here to help people know that they are not alone and to reconnect with their community.

If you are compassionate, like helping and meeting people, then this could be the role for you.


We would like you to:


  • Be able to volunteer at least 2 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9 am5 pm
  • Have experience in helping vulnerable people. Previous experience working with people aged 55+ would be great.
  • Be willing to travel anywhere within the Belfast area (BT
  • BT17)
  • Able to do occasional travel to BRC building 12 Heron Road, BT3 9LE
  • Due to the nature of this role, applicants must undergo an Enhanced Access NI check
  • Driving is preferable but not essential. If driving, have held a driving licence for at least two years, which allows you to drive in the UK and have access to your own vehicle OR be willing to use public transport.

Health and Safety Statement

  • We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety.
  • We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment. We will also have a conversation with you to discuss any restrictions that may still be in place in your region and identify any adjustments you may need.

Diversity

  • Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.
