VOLUNTEERS
We are recruiting volunteers to work in the service and are particularly keen for local people or people who speak community languages to join us as our aim is to build a strong resource within the community. All volunteers receive induction, training from Talking Money on delivering basic money advice and are fully supported during their placement, so this would be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to retrain, develop their skills and gain direct work experience in a community support setting.
Please contact boost2@wsb.org.uk if you are interested in becoming a volunteer or have any queries.
