Volunteer IPS (Individual Placement) Support

Overview

Volunteers make an enormous contribution to our work at Change Grow Live.

Last year over 1400 volunteers donated over a quarter of million hours of their time to our organisation.

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

Responsibilities

Volunteering as an Individual Placement Support Volunteer (IPS) will enable you play a pivotal role in helping people get back on their feet and back to work. You’ll have a chance to support our Employment Specialists to develop a pool of suitable employers in the local community and attend community events such as job fairs.

We are looking for someone who understands the challenges faced by those who use our services and who enjoys meeting others whilst using their IT skills.

What You’ll Get Out of Volunteering

• Personal Growth – Build confidence, learn new skills, share your expertise and gain hands-on experience in health and social care.
• Career Development – Access training, gain insight into the sector, and boost your CV for future opportunities.
• Make a Difference – Support people in their recovery and help create safer, healthier communities.
• Flexible Opportunities – Fit volunteering around your schedule with a variety of roles available.
• Join a supportive team – Work alongside passionate, friendly people who share your values.
• Feel Valued – Your time and effort will be recognised and appreciated.
• Travel expenses - reimburse all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in travelling to the place of volunteering and whilst carrying out any voluntary activities.

We are committed to creating an environment that respects and values diversity, with a positive and supportive culture where everyone feels welcome, empowered, and represented.

Interested? Please get in touch—we’d love to hear from you!

We also expect an assertive approach to ensuring the safety and well-being of all children, young people and adults, and applicants to these posts will need to demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to best safeguarding practice. We are actively recruiting people who can offer us 1 – 3 days per week to work within our drug & alcohol service; we are specifically looking for people who are keen and enthusiastic and would be able to commit to staying as a volunteer with us for up to one year.
