Could you spare a couple of hours every 2 weeks to help support one of our groups? We are excited to be further developing our already successful National Lottery funded bereavement service. We need the help of some amazing volunteers to ensure we can offer the level of support that those attending the groups deserve. Do you have what our groups need? Would you like to learn about therapeutic group work? This role could be suited to individuals with experience of the caring professions, or students studying social work, counselling... OR We are equally interested in compassionate good listeners with more diverse career backgrounds. Can you hear about bereavement and not judge or feel the need to give advice? Crucially we are looking for good listeners who do not judge or give advice, somebody keen to help create a safe space where people can explore and express their grief and begin to support each other. Your own experience of grief will of course be relevant (not essential) as long as it has been some time ago. We would be very interested to hear from people who have a bit of regular time to help the facilitator support a group of peers to be there for each other. Just a couple of hours every two weeks and you will help make a big difference to people struggling with bereavement. We are really looking forward to hearing from you about this rewarding volunteer opportunity. *Please note suitable volunteers will attend an interview and we will require up to date and relevant references. For more details on the role please contact the Bereavement Team on 01663 735350 (Option 3) or bereavement@highpeakcvs.org.uk Find out more at: highpeakcvs.org.uk/bereavement

Melbourne - IT Support Basic - face to face or on-line

Digital technology is evolving, the way we communicate with each other is changing, and more services are going online. However, not everyone has the digital skills to be able to access these services, or the know-how to use a digital device, which is resulting in increased social isolation and disparities in healthcare, education, job opportunities, and access to essential goods and services. While we fully embrace the incredible technological advancements that make life easier, healthier, more efficient, and more enjoyable for most of us, it's important to recognise that not everyone is keeping pace. That’s why we need Digital Champions—to ensure no one gets left behind! Therefore South Derbyshire CVS Volunteer Force is currently seeking to recruit a team of voluntary Digital Champions in South Derbyshire to help tackle the growing divide. Our new volunteers will initially help us to deliver sessions, in community settings around South Derbyshire, to: (1) Develop foundation-level digital skills and build confidence in using devices to access online services every day. (2) Learn how to use the NHS Health APP and how to search for further information on managing health concerns or conditions using the internet. (3) Learn how to research, identify, and access national and local services and support groups available, using the internet and social media. ​What can we offer you? * We will provide training and ongoing CPD, equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and necessary tools to succeed in your role. * Ongoing support and supervision will be available to help you grow and enhance your volunteer skills. * You will be a valued member of an initiative that has a meaningful impact on people's lives. * Your contributions will be recognised and rewarded and we will provide a reference on request. * The chance to meet new people, and reconnect with your local community alongside boosting your mental and physical well-being, and developing valuable wider skills to enhance your career prospects. Eligibility To be a Digital Champion you must be: (1) Aged 18 years or over at the time of applying. (2) A UK resident or have permission to live in the UK. (3) Willing to authorise a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. ​​No matter your age or current digital skills we will offer the support and training necessary to enable you to make a difference.
