Current Positions;

x1 Signposting & Wellbeing Volunteer.

Do you have experience in Poverty Prevention?

A signposting volunteer at a food bank helps people in crisis by listening to their issues and referring them to the services they need. Some responsibilities of a signposting volunteer include:

• Making visitors feel valued and treated with dignity
• Listening: Understanding people’s challenges and needs
• Referrals: Connecting people with the appropriate agencies and services
• Follow-up: Following up with people to ensure they receive effective service
• Database entry: Entering details into the Trussell Trust database

This role would be a remote role after 3/6 weeks, depending on the level of experience you have. This role would require monthly meetings in the Wimbledon office to keep the team up-to date with your progress. We would ask a volunteer to be able to commit to 6-8 hours per week, flexible to your schedule.
