Support Volunteer – Kenward Trust Malthouse
About this organisation
Kenward Trust’s Malthouse is a second stage residential drug and alcohol recovery project for up to 16 men and women who have completed a suitable recovery programme and who recognise that they would benefit from further work within a structured residential programme. They can carry on their journey at the right pace to ensure they do not relapse and they are able to gain the skills they need to plan their move on and reintegration.
They provide an in-depth programme of recovery and relapse prevention, through groups, key working and counselling. They also offer help with life skills and on-site training in numeracy, literacy and computer skills. They encourage and support training, volunteering and community activities, to help achieve and maintain a new life in the community.
About this opportunity
They are looking for someone to be there for residents and assist them in their rehabilitation. This will involve going shopping with them or to doctors appointments, being there to listen and make a connection with the residents, letting them know they have someone they can go to when they need to talk.
They are asking for 1 day a week, just to offer that little bit of extra support.
