Volunteer

Volunteer with us at the Kilmarnock Road Centre

Volunteering is an excellent way for people to get involved in their local community. It provides people with an opportunity to make new friends, whilst learning new skills to help them get into further training, education or employment.

Our volunteers are valued and supported and vital in helping us keep our service up and running and meeting the needs of the clients who we support.

As a volunteer you will receive:

• Induction training
• Specific and ongoing training related to your volunteer role
• Help and support from all the staff at Kilmarnock Road Resource Centre
• Reimbursement of any out of pocket expenses
• Regular supervision

Below are the roles which we currently have available.

Volunteer Youth Club Worker

We are looking for volunteers to participate in our Youth Club sessions.  If you are passionate about making a difference in young peoples lives then contact a member of staff for more information.

Time commitment: minimum of 2 hours a week.

Volunteer Tech Buddy

As a Volunteer Tech Buddy, you will aim to inspire and support residents within the community to become confident using the internet in ways that will improve their quality of life and to stay safe online.

You will need to be patient, reliable (good timekeepers), have good spoken English, be friendly, a good listener and non-judgmental. Tech Buddy volunteers will also need to be regular users of technology (e.g. computers/tablets/smartphones) with a genuine desire to share their skills and help other people use technology.

Time commitment: minimum of 2 hours per week

Volunteer Representative

If you live in the Manor House Ward of Hartlepool and are interested in becoming actively involved in the organisation then becoming either a Trustee or an Non Executive Member of the Board of Trustees is one way you can achieve that! These local representatives will be invited to attend Board meetings on a bi-monthly basis, and it is hoped will provide vital feedback from residents in the area. This feedback will then be used to further enhance the services and activities that are available through the Centre.

Representatives of the community may also be occasionally asked to promote any upcoming events in the Centre to encourage the community to come along and get involved with whatever activities are taking place.

Time commitment: minimum of 2 hours monthly.
