Charity Ambassador Volunteer

  • Brain Tumour Charity (The)
  • VO96488

Description

How can you help?

We are recruiting a team of Charity Ambassadors to help develop engagement across each region, to maximise opportunities to raise funds and increase support from the community. You will be actively involved with The Charity on the ground and play a key role working alongside the Regional Community Fundraisers, as and when required:

  • Identifying various opportunities in your local area to raise awareness of The Charity and our wide range of fundraising campaigns. This could be anything from contacting your local supermarket’s ‘Community Champion’ and organising an information stand and bucket collection or supporting a supporter group meet up in your area
  • Representing The Charity in your area, by undertaking presentations and cheque collections at schools, local companies and community groups
  • Helping us to recruit new fundraisers and supporting those who are already signed up for a campaign in your area eg, attending a local Twilight Walk or promoting The Big Bake to local companies

What impact will you have?

By amplifying The Charity's voice in your local area, you'll help increase the impact of fundraising campaigns and help grow funds and support us in accelerating a cure for everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Passionate about The Charity and our vision
  • Flexible and willing to get involved as and when opportunities arise
  • Confident and comfortable in undertaking presentations to a wide range of audiences
  • Skilled at spotting new opportunities to raise awareness and funds
  • Friendly, approachable and able to communicate at all levels
  • A team player, who is also able to work on their own initiative

We particularly encourage applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in our sector, including individuals from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities.

Volunteer Listeners
  • Community Listening Service
Can you be a good listener? Could you help someone explore what they are going through? The Community Listening Service helps people (re)discover hope and inner strength in times of “illness, change and loss”. Community Listening Service Listeners do not offer counselling, but they offer the person a space to talk, to tell their story in their own time, for their own wellbeing, with the knowledge that the listener is there to listen. Volunteers can play a vital role supporting the work of the Department of Spiritual Care within NHS Grampian/CLS. Listening to people’s concerns can help them feel less isolated and anxious while helping them feel more hopeful and valued in a confidential and non-judgemental way. There is no requirement for volunteers or service users to be a member of a faith or belief group, just be able to provide a service that has patients at the heart, where they can feel safe, seen and heard, allowing them the space to reflect on their own personal situations. A fantastic opportunity help. All help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated. For further details please contact us at email gram.listening@nhs.scot or telephone: 07584 217 192 or 01224 553316.
