No formal qualifications/experience are required, however volunteer Mentors would need to be willing/able to ensure clients work progressively and effectively to reach agreed goals. Life experience and/or strong interest in supporting adults is a real advantage. We recruit and train volunteers from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds and we actively welcome volunteers with lived experience of drug, alcohol, offending, mental health, homelessness and isolation.

This role offers a level of responsibility few other voluntary roles can. It also gives Mentors the benefits of preliminary training and continuing support from an Investors in People organisation, plus the opportunity to gain the skills and experience needed to pursue a career within fields such as criminal justice and substance misuse. We offer safeguarding training and opportunities for further training in relevant areas. In addition to in-depth initial training, CLI may be able to offer volunteers the opportunity to train for a Health & Social Care Diploma All mentors receive regular monthly supervision, team meetings and ongoing support.

Further location details may be provided below.
