Volunteers

National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS)

Voluntary (unpaid)
Part Time
Nottinghamshire

Are YOU that special volunteer?
Are you willing to give up some of your time to make a difference to a young person’s life?
Do you relate well to young people but like a challenge?

NYAS is a national children’s rights charity working in partnership with Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Children’s Services to recruit, train and support adult volunteers to be Independent Visitors for children and young people who are looked-after by their local authority.

We need motivated, child focussed volunteers willing to befriend children in care who have little or no contact with any adult outside of the system that cares for them.

You don’t need any special qualifications, but patience, flexibility, determination to make a difference, and a non-judgmental attitude are essential. You will need to commit a few hours each month for at least two years. In return for your commitment we will give you training and ongoing support aswell as a budget to cover your expenses.

Please note: Enhanced CRB Checks will be carried out.

If you would like to have an informal chat with someone about this challenging yet rewarding role, or to request an application pack, please telephone: Suzanne Arslan on 01623 752101 or email Suzanne.arslan@nyas.net
