Job description

Volunteers make an enormous contribution to our work at Wirral Ways. We are a free and confidential drug and alcohol service for adults, young adults, families, carers and affected others across the Wirral. We provide a non-judgemental service, with qualified, experienced staff and volunteers who offer support in health & wellbeing and substance misuse. We can talk to you in several supportive environments, all which have a friendly atmosphere, and provide you with information to help you reduce your substance misuse or to become abstinent.

 

Last year over 1400 volunteers donated over a quarter of million hours of their time to Change Grow Live.

 

Would you like to join our growing team of volunteers, and make a real difference?

At Change Grow Live you will be working with people to help them change the direction of their life, grow as an individual, and live life to its full potential. As a Recovery support volunteer you will be working in close collaboration with Recovery Coordinators, assisting them in their caseload management, supporting the service user through all aspects of their treatment journey. This can include completing assessments, risk management plans and undertaking one to one work. You will receive training and support and work towards holding a small caseload of low risk clients. You will be a part of our RISE (Recovery, Independence, Support, Empowerment) Team to support those who are at the end of their recovery journey with us
