City of Boroondara, Australia Change Grow Live Full time
Overview

Making the decision to enter treatment can be an intimidating experience for the people we support. You can make a difference.

As a Volunteer Recovery Worker with Change Grow Live, you'll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.

Responsibilities

In this role, you'll be working as part of a team based in the Borough of Southwark, South-East London. The team supports people with their or their loved ones' drug and/or alcohol issues.

No two days are the same, and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual. Therefore, being flexible, curious, and a good listener are key attributes. We will support you in this volunteering role by ensuring that you receive regular supervision and have someone on site who you can approach for day-to-day advice and guidance. In return for the time you give, you will receive valuable training and gain experience and skills. You'll be making a real difference too.

Our core values are 'Be open, be compassionate and be bold' and our team members apply these daily to achieve our mission of helping people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals, and live life to its full potential.

Testimonials

This is what a volunteer shared:

"Following my peer mentoring with the Recovery Support Service I've been volunteering for almost 14 months with Southwark CGL. It has been challenging, a learning growth and now very rewarding that I'm working with service users and managing my caseload. I enjoy working with the service users who are my focus and passion, and I appreciate the support and opportunity. I really want to thank all the staff and managers that have given me support and encouragement, and lots of help, advice in getting me where I am today."

This is what one of our Social Work Placements shared:

"It's been a pleasure working with CGL. I learnt so much in such a short space of time, and I was provided with many opportunities that allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge within the health and social care practice, not just drug and alcohol-related services. I learnt about understanding what a person with lived experience wanted and applying this to work in their best interests and support them in the best ways possible."

This is what one of our Service User representatives shared:

"I like doing what I do because it keeps my feet firmly on the ground and keeps my head where it needs to be. Plus, healing someone who has no one makes me feel good."
