Family Services - South Gloucestershire Family Support Volunteer

Kingswood/Yate

We need you if:

If you have a desire to help others, you are reliable and resilient, you could be a great addition to the team. Within the South Gloucestershire Families team we believe in the value and uniqueness of people. We welcome volunteers who have a range of skills and life experiences.

We will ask of you to do the following:

You will be co-facilitating a Stay and Play baby group (for under 5s) within the Kingswood/Yate area, on a Thursday/Friday morning from 9.30-10.30.

We commit to you:

We have an extensive training programme that will allow you to carry out this role.
We will provide you with regular support and supervision during your time with us.
We will let you know the outcome of your work and the difference it is making to the people you are supporting.
We see you as part of the team and invite you to our All CCP away day and other activities through the year.
We have a designated Volunteer Co-Ordinator who will be on hand to support you with your volunteering journey within CCP.

We Place the Safety of our Clients, Staff, Students, and Volunteers first:

CCP uses Safer Recruitment practices to onboard volunteers. These entail an application form to be completed, Interview, Induction training and Enhanced DBS vetting and references.

What we hear from the Volunteers:

"I love doing this. I am a mum of a little one within the area. Groups like this are so important for parents and the little ones. I didn’t think I had much to give apart from being a mum myself, but volunteering has increased my confidence, and when my little one is older, I feel I can re-enter the world of work"

We as a Charity

We as a Charity CCP was originally founded in 1989 by a local businessman in response to the growing number of homeless young people in Cheltenham. Recognising that people as young as 16 were sleeping rough around the town after having been thrown out of their family home, he purchased a building and opened a 10-bed hostel.

We have grown a lot since then and now aim to transform the lives of children, young people, families, and vulnerable adults by preventing homelessness, strengthening families and promoting independence. With a head office in Cheltenham, we currently employ 220 staff, backed up by a team of 160 volunteers, currently delivering services and projects in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Wiltshire, and Dorset.

Together WE can make a difference
