BECOMING A VOLUNTEER ADVICE WORKER
Volunteer workers are
hugely important to the CAB Service. Many Bureaux rely almost totally
on volunteer advisers. Here at Fulham CAB we currently do not have
anyone available to train volunteer advice workers but we are hoping
that we will have later in the year.
The advice-worker training course offered by the CAB
Service gives
a qualification in Advice Work and takes about 6 - 8 months.
Many
other CABx are interested in taking on volunteers and if you write to
our London Head Office at Citizens Advice, 136-144 City Road, London
EC1V 2RL you can request an application form and your details will be
circulated around London Bureaux. However, we are always looking for
volunteers who can carry out a variety of tasks - general admin tasks,
inputting data, filing, updating, running a reception service.
We are also looking for people who are willing to act as advice worker
assistants who would be allocated to one or two workers and carry out
some of their follow up work and basic administration of cases. We do
offer some training for these tasks.
If you are interested in any of the above, please call in or write in
and ask for an application form providing the names of two referees. We
look forward to hearing from you.
