Volunteers needed to train as advisers
Our work is based around being able to offer accurate up to date information and help with the problems and issues that the disabled, elderly and carers present with (the bulk of our work is around supporting people to access the welfare system) at the drop-in centre.
Whatever the issue even if it is outside our wheelhouse we will endeavour to get the person signposted to the solution or help they seek.
Full training is provided for this role and no previous experience is necessary for this rewarding role although previous experience around disability and the social care system is advantageous .
