Following a complete review of our volunteer policies, NBAC has created a new role for volunteers called 'Advice Support Worker'. On completion of a 6 week foundation training programme, Advice Support Workers will assist NBAC's advice team in a number of tasks including applying to local charities for financial support on behalf of clients.
 

Not only will the Advice Support Worker role benefit NBAC's advice team, but we estimate that with two volunteers NBAC will be able to assist a further 276 people per year. Volunteers will also gain confidence and a range of new skills to improve their employment prospects.
 

NBAC aims to recruit two local people to train as Advice Support Workers during each recruitment round. The foundation training programme will include units covering client interview skills, knowledge and an introduction to NBAC's systems. On completion volunteers will have a named support worker and receive regular supervision sessions from which an ongoing 'Training and Development' plan will be produced.
 

Every role carried out by volunteers is vital to the work of NBAC, so there is a selection process for each volunteer vacancy that arises. For more information and details of any current vacancies, please contact the advice centre on 0117 951-5751.
