Volunteer Receptionist

Citizens Advice South Gloucestershire is looking for a Volunteer Receptionist to help at our office in Yate on a Monday.

This is an important role which involves greeting clients and adding their details to our database.

The rewarding position will be of great help to our charity – which provides free, independent and confidential advice to anyone who needs it in South Gloucestershire.

The charity is particularly keen to encourage applications from people with a diverse range of backgrounds. This is especially the case for people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds who are currently under-represented.

The service aims to provide high-quality advice to members of the public. It also aims to influence Governments and other organisations by informing them of the effect of their actions on the lives of clients.

The role involves:

• a friendly, approachable manner
• respect for views, values and cultures which are different to your own

What you will get out of it:

• Brilliant skills which will be of use for future work
• Excellent training and support
• The camaraderie of being part of a great team

Applicants should be able to commit to a two-hour session from 4pm to 6pm on a Monday each week for at least six months. Full training will be provided.
