Volunteer Roles at Lifeworks - (18+)

 

Lifeworks have received Awards for All funding and are currently taking on volunteers for Befriending.

Training and expenses provided.

Lifeworks are currently not taking on any other volunteer roles due to lack of funding, we hope this will change in due course.


Befrienders

What does the role of a Befriender involve?
Lifeworks helps people with High Functioning Autistic Conditions, some of which are very isolated. Interaction with others can be difficult, thus confidence and coping in every life tasks can be hard. As a result, some people can struggle to get out of their homes or are housebound.

We are currently looking to recruit befrienders to help our service users (clients). The role will include helping to build social interaction by establishing (setting up) and maintaining (continuing) a friendly, sympathetic, informative and professional relationship. Encouraging the client to engage in activities we (Lifeworks) and other organisations provide will help the service user gain confidence and valuable life skills that will improve their quality of life.

Will I be given training? How can I find out more?
You will be given training for this role and a mentor to support you following an induction. Further details about this role are available on request.
