Volunteer: Criminal Justice Recovery

Overview

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

As a Criminal Justice Recovery support volunteer, you will be working in close collaboration with Criminal justice Recovery Coordinators and probation service at Sefton CGL.

The successful volunteer candidates will have available to them role specific training and a wide offer of accrediting learning, you will also be assigned a mentor and will be working towards a specific development plan.

Volunteers contribute to Change Grow Live in a variety of ways. From Admin Volunteers to Service User Reps, from Peer Mentors to Healthcare Support Volunteers, from Independent Visitors to Community Mentors each volunteer brings a unique set of skills and talents. We are incredibly grateful for all that volunteers do to support our service users.

Most of our volunteer opportunities don’t need any special qualifications. We’ll make sure you get all the training and support you need. All we ask is that you're kind, open-minded and passionate about supporting people.

Everyone is welcome at Change Grow Live. As a volunteer you will be treated with respect and accepted for who you are. You don’t need to have personal experience of drug and alcohol recovery to get involved.
