Current Volunteer Vacancies
Are you interested in helping children and families to thrive? We are seeking those who share our vision for the following volunteer roles.
Holiday Activity support volunteers: A fun role with low-hours commitment, requiring a hands-on, happy to muck-in attitude, we are looking for caring people to help set up, manage and clear away at busy, small-scale session/events, during holidays. Applications from mature, trustworthy, energetic adults aged 16+ who are able to provide suitable references/character references are welcomed.
Befrienders (for adult-to-child Befriending service): This role is best fulfilled by those who have previous experience with children in social care, education or similar and who have a working knowledge of safeguarding. Ideally, previously DBS checked and able to offer a long-term, weekly commitment, training and expenses will be provided. Those with a professional background in support work are also encouraged to get in touch.
Treasurer: Having recently been awarded three-year £190k National Lottery funding, an experienced finance and planning mind is sought to work with the managers and trustees. Trusteeship position for the Treasurer is also welcomed (but not essential).
If you are interested in volunteering for these or any roles please contact Service Manager, Sue Willis, on suewillis@purpleelephant.org.
