Recovery Pastoral Support Volunteer - BATH

If you consider yourself a people person, and have some time on Sundays to undertake a very fulfilling role, this is an ideal opportunity to simply spend time with people who have struggled with substance misuse and homelessness and are already on the road to making positive changes to their lives.

Overall purpose of role:

The primary purpose of this role is to provide pastoral support to residents of our dry houses in either of our two Bath-based locations – Burlington House and Barton Buildings.

This role is likely to be paired with a Peer Supporter.

Key responsibilities:

• Spending time with residents on Sundays (ideally 10 am to 6pm every week, every month, or at a frequency depending on applicants availability).
• Volunteers can work with staff to shape their own role e.g. there are also some optional tasks based on the interests/willingness of the volunteer e.g. getting rooms ready for new residents, spending time working in the garden with or without residents, supporting residents to complete forms.
