Drug and Alcohol Service - Kirklees
Volunteering
Volunteers are a vital part of our service, supporting paid staff to deliver a service aligned with our vision and values.
Volunteering can benefit you as well as the service. It's a good way of giving something back if you or a family member have used the service or as a route to gaining work.
Get in contact
If you want to become a volunteer and would like to chat with us first, please email: [email protected] or call 07721782659. We would love to hear from you. All current volunteering posts are advertised on the Change Grow Live website.
The recruitment process
We advertise our volunteer roles online, where you can apply for available positions. If your application indicates that you possess the skills and interests we are looking for, you will be invited to take part in a values-based interview.
If you are selected to volunteer with us, you will need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) application. Having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify you from volunteering; however, it will need to be discussed and assessed for risk before a final decision can be made.
Support and supervision
You will be matched with a member of the team who will be your supervisor while you volunteer with us. Your supervisor will support you to develop and link you in with any training opportunities.
Number of hours for volunteering
You are gifting us your time so, unless stated, the hours can be flexible to times you can commit to, fitting around the needs and hours of the service.
Claiming expenses
You can claim travel expenses from your home to your place of work, as well as a meal allowance if you volunteer for five hours or more through our expenses system.
