Summary
Connection Support’s Rough Sleeper Outreach Service enables rough sleepers to build a better future beyond street life.Detailed description
We support people living on the streets of Buckinghamshire find more settled accommodation and receive the benefits they are entitled to.
Our Outreach Volunteers accompany our Outreach Support Worker’s to identify and verify these rough sleepers.
We are looking for Outreach Volunteers to accompany our Outreach Support Workers for 2-3 hours a week starting at 5/6am.
No experience is needed. Volunteers need to have a non-judgmental approach, be reliable and trustworthy people who are able to work as part of a team and keep client confidentiality to ultimately help people get off the streets.
Please note: This role requires a lot of walking in different terrains.
At Connection Support we feel that nobody can do everything but everyone can do something so volunteering is flexible to suit you.
We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds to join our diverse team, if you have any disabilities or health conditions, we will do everything we can to help you access this opportunity.
