Advice Volunteer Supervisor

Volunteering has huge benefits both to individuals and to organisations.   Good volunteering with excellent training and development opportunities has an even greater impact.  Combine this with volunteer roles that enable people with mental health problems to better access their rights and entitlements in terms of benefits, debt and housing, at a time when that is so important and you have the opportunity to make a difference. To do this job you need good working experience of areas of social welfare law combined with experience of passing on your knowledge and supporting volunteers.
