Volunteering at HAGA
HAGA is looking to build its volunteer team. Volunteers will work across a range of projects, including administrative and clinical roles. All volunteers will be fully trained, inducted and supported by an appointed supervisor. Volunteers will have access to HAGA’s internal training programme which includes Identification and Brief Advice, Extended Brief Interventions, Safeguarding Children, and Motivational Interviewing. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for travel (up to £3.90 per volunteer session) and lunch (up to £3.50 per volunteer session) will be reimbursed in line with HAGA’s Volunteer Policy.
Applicants must be over 18 years old. All applicants will be required to give referees and complete a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. Where an individual has a criminal record, HAGA may still consider the applicant depending on the nature of the offences committed.
All applicants should send a brief one-page covering letter and their CV (with the names of two referees). Referees can be either current or most recent employer or someone known to you for over two years who is not a family member or friend (i.e. GP, dentist, pastor, landlord, bank manager). A HAGA manager will then call to discuss your application.
If you or your service-users have any questions regarding volunteering at HAGA or a service-user wants to make an application, please email volunteer@haga.co.uk.
