Would you like to support people who have served in the Armed Forces? You just need the ability to listen, strong IT skills and good written and spoken English. If you think this could be the role for you, we’d love to hear from you.

What is a Caseworker?

Caseworkers visit clients to work out what type of support they need. You will listen without judgement to assess and provide tailored support to help those serving, who have served and their families to navigate life in and beyond military service. Some examples of support are securing funding for special equipment for someone with a disability, adaptions to a property so an older client can remain at home or funds for a rental deposit. Caseworkers also sign-post clients onto specialist local services for advice on benefits, housing, mental health, debt, finding work etc.

Why do we need you?

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan. We’d love the general public to understand what we do and how they can help us.

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

Volunteer Caseworkers are the lifeblood of SSAFA, supporting a growing number of people in need of financial, practical, and emotional support. Clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like Iraq or Afghanistan.

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

The essential part of the role is visiting clients, so you will need access to a vehicle or another way to travel to meet clients at home or in a care home setting. As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but you can complete the administration part of the role from home as long as you have access to IT equipment and the internet.

What would you be doing?

• Contacting beneficiaries and arranging to meet them at a mutually convenient time.
• Meeting beneficiaries and completing a form to assess their circumstances, using good communication skills, empathy and understanding.
• Sign-posting clients onto local services providing specialist advice.
• Applying for funding on the behalf of the beneficiary through a specific process and system  
• Arranging for the purchase of goods and services
• Keeping the beneficiary informed of their case progress.

• Support from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
• Experience, training, and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews.
• Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!

What training and support would you receive?

• Role specific training to prepare you for your voluntary role – confidentiality and boundaries, personal safety, caseworker training, and caseworker IT system training. The caseworker training takes 3 days and a further half a day for the other training.
• Mandatory on-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
• Access to a range additional e-learning courses as well as local opportunities for your personal and professional development.
• Local induction including assigning a person from the team who will be your main point of contact.
• Regular opportunities to meet and share best practice with other caseworkers.
• Range of support from central and regional volunteer operations team.
• Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
• Volunteers will be covered by SSAFAs Public Liability Insurance whilst carrying out the role.

What are we looking for?

• Friendly and approachable with good listening skills, patience, and a positive attitude.
• Good communication skills both written and verbally.
• Respectful and non-judgemental approach with beneficiaries, their family, other agencies and SSAFA colleagues
• Willingness and ability to use IT systems for initial and on-going training and to enter cases on the Casework Management System. Willingness and ability to send and receive emails – you will receive your own SSAFA email address which you will be required to use when exercising your role.
• Ability to make enquires on behalf of beneficiaries by phone, email, letter or by filling in forms.
• Ability to keep within boundaries of the role with regards to friendship or giving advice
• Reliable, prompt and trustworthy.
• Access to public transport or a car to travel to appointments with clients.

We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, abilities, races, sexual orientations, socio-economic backgrounds, and of all faiths and none. SSAFA are committed to making reasonable adjustments to support volunteers with disabilities, so they have access to the same opportunities and experiences as volunteers who do not.

Minimum Age: 18

Is a criminal record check required? Yes, this is provided by SSAFA at no cost to the potential volunteer. This role requires an enhanced check (including checks against the children and adults barred list)

The main areas of work in which interns are involved include research, conflict analysis, media reviews and report writing.  Interns monitor international and regional institutions and grant making organisations for funding opportunities.  Programme interns may also be asked to acquire new skills or to work with new technology and will be expected to take their turn in tasks such as monitoring the security of teams on the road.

Concordis seeks to build relationships of trust and respect, considering this to be at the heart of successful peace processes.  The work of all members of the Concordis team is required to conform to and advance such an approach.

ROLE DESCRIPTION

Your internship role within Concordis will be shaped by what is happening on Concordis programmes during the six months you spend with the organisation and by your interests, experience and abilities.  As a team, we rely on each member to contribute their skills to our work and we will look to make the most of what you have to offer, while at the same time giving you opportunities to develop new skills and to challenge yourself.

The internships are designed to give you concrete experience in research, programme management and funding within the international development sector. 

The role will require you to work virtually with our UK team, with programme teams in one or more of the countries in which Concordis operates and with your fellow interns.  If you live in or are visiting London, we will be delighted to welcome you to join some team meetings in person.

Are you passionate about helping animals in your community?  Would you like to do something meaningful with your free time?  The RSPCA needs people like you so that we can improve animal welfare in Middlesbrough and Teesside.

We are looking for volunteers to run our animal welfare programs.  These may include offering discounted Neutering, managing colonies of feral cats, or guiding people on how to adopt a dog.  You will have direct contact with the public, work closely with local vets and liaise with the RSPCA Inspectors.  You will be dealing with all the enquiries we receive via email and deciding how we should respond.  In some cases it will be walking the person through the steps of our current programs, in other cases it will be working out how to respond to an unusual request - no two days will be the same.

This is a co-ordinating role which can be done remotely with a computer and a phone.  If you live locally, you may also want to meet vets or other partners face to face to better understand their operations and build partnerships.  You will be the beating heart of our contribution to animal welfare in your community.  You won’t be on your own.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Training will be provided.  We are seeking someone who is organised, diligent, detailed, good with people and gets things done.  You will be passionate about animal welfare and ready to make a difference.  Diversity is our strength. We support every type of animal and we seek every type of person who wants to work with like minded people to improve animal welfare. We are a team, we support each other and learn from each other, and we want to work with you. We want your skills and motivation and your ability to get things done. Together we can make a real difference.

WHAT DIFFERENCE WILL YOU MAKE?

Animal Welfare programs are at the heart of everything we do, so you will be part of the most important work in the Branch and directly see the positive impact we make.

There are lots of benefits to becoming an RSPCA Middlesbrough, Teesside & District Branch Volunteer, these include:

• Using your skills to do something useful.
• Passing on your skills and learning new ones.
• Gaining real leadership experience.
• Creating real opportunities to improve animal welfare in your community.
• Access to RSPCA Learning Hub with a wide range of training materials
• Lead not follow - shape our future direction and make your mark

Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and dependent on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and undergo specific training before starting the role.

We hope to hear from you and we can’t wait for you to join the team.
