Voluntariat

Vă mulțumim pentru interesul dumneavoastră față de voluntariatul cu NDAS. Avem o mulțime de roluri diferite de voluntariat care sunt esențiale pentru noi pentru a ajuta atât de mulți oameni ca și noi – totul, de la ajutor cu administratorul la sediul central, până la a fi mentor și a sprijini pe cineva din comunitatea lor, până la strângere activă de fonduri și a fi Ambasador pentru NDAS.

Oferim formare și sprijin, plătim călătoriile și cheltuielile și ne vedem voluntarii ca o parte esențială a forței noastre de muncă. Fără voluntarii noștri, ne-am lupta cu adevărat.

Ne bazăm pe bunăvoința unor indivizi dedicați pentru a ne permite să ne continuăm munca în cadrul comunității pentru a sprijini supraviețuitorii abuzului domestic. Voluntarii noștri provin dintr-o gamă variată de medii, cu propriul set de abilități, cunoștințe și experiențe unice. Dacă sunteți interesat să faceți voluntariat cu noi și doriți mai multe informații, vă rugăm să trimiteți un e-mail: info@ndas-org.co.uk

Current Volunteering Vacancies

Volunteer Tutors - Across Northamptonshire

Help us with this exciting new role!!

Many of our children moving to refuge experience a delay in receiving a school place. We'd like to bridge this educational gap and are looking for volunteers to help.

If you have teaching experience (primary or secondary) and are passionate about education, we'd love to hear from you! Working closely with our specialist children's team the volunteer tutor will work to plan and deliver learning opportunities on a one-to-one or small group basis.

The role requires just 2 hours from you each week (between 9am-4pm, Monday - Friday). Please note that this role may be a little ad-hoc as families move into refuge and school placements are found.

If you're interested, please apply here, or get in touch via: volunteer@ndas-org.co.uk

Children's Activity Workers - Daventry

If you're fun loving, engaging and enjoy working with children, then please consider joining our Children's volunteer team!

Working in conjunction with the Children's Domestic Abuse Specialists your role will include planning and facilitating group activities for the children and offering one to one support when needed. Previous experience of working with children is preferred.

The role requires just 2 hours from you each week (between 9am-4pm, Monday - Friday) and you'll be allocated your closest refuge.

If you're interested, please apply here, or get in touch via: volunteer@ndas-org.co.uk

Diverse Befrienders

Do you have an understanding of different cultures? Can you speak an additional language such as Bengali, Urdu, Hindi, Polish or, Romanian? Are you great with form filling?

Survivors who find themselves in refuge are often new to Northamptonshire and can find starting again really daunting. Some clients may speak limited English which only adds to their feeling of social isolation. We’re looking for Befrienders from a range of ethnic backgrounds to support clients in building their confidence and to help them to access local services, and develop wider social links.

The role requires just 2 hours from you each week on an ad hoc basis, depending on needs.

If you're interested, please apply here, or get in touch via: volunteer@ndas-org.co.uk

Donations Volunteers

Could you help us to use donations more effectively? We're looking for volunteers to help collect, deliver and sort donations, ensuring they get to where they're needed most.

You'll need a driving licence and access to a vehicle and be willing to lift and carry donated items such as boxes of toiletries, toys, and occasional items of furniture. This role will be ad hoc with certain times of the year being busier than others, but we'd expect you'll need to be available a few hours each month, during the standard working day.

Volunteer Gardeners

Do you love being outdoors and getting creative in the garden? We are looking for reliable and green fingered volunteers to help keep our outdoor spaces looking their best.

If you’re available to help at your local refuge garden for a couple of hours each week or fortnight, then please consider getting in touch. Tasks will include garden tidying, weeding and pruning.

Volunteer Hairdressers and Nail Technicians

Are you a qualified hairdresser or nail technician? Would you be willing to volunteer some of your time to help boost the morale of those affected by domestic abuse?

Arriving in refuge is tough and starting again in a new area takes courage and resilience. We would love to be able to treat residents to a haircut or to have their nails done once they have settled into refuge life; to give them a chance to feel more like themselves and to build their feelings of self-worth.

If you have the right skills and would be happy to offer your time on an ad hoc basis (just a couple of hours each month), then we’d love to hear from you.

If you're interested, please apply here, or get in touch via: volunteer@ndas-org.co.uk

Are you skilled at DIY? Handy at putting furniture together or enjoy painting the house?

We are looking for friendly, capable and reliable handy-person volunteers to undertake repair tasks on the interior and exteriors of our refuges. Although we have sites across the Northamptonshire area, we're looking for volunteers to support in the location that's most convenient for them. We'd estimate you'd need to be a available for 6-8hours per month, but that is flexible.
