We are looking for volunteers to support our Outreach and Youth Services Lead with various Outreach events, spreading the word of YPS services, workshops and other opportunities.

Outreach events can include speaking at schools and other educational organisations, attending wellbeing events, supporting with outreach workshops and distributing leaflets and flyers to local partners.

This role would suit someone who maybe does not want to commit to a regular volunteering slot, but someone who can be available on a more adhoc basis.

  • Passionate about helping young people
  • Confident in group situations
  • Great communication skills
  • Empathetic and perceptive
  • Open minded
  • Works well within a team
  • Ability to be flexible and adaptable
