Temporary
Independent Visitors Volunteer
Salary Scale: Volunteer
Fixed Term: For a minimum of one Year
Evenings, weekends and school holidays for a minimum of 4-6 hours per month This is your opportunity to join our ‘Outstanding’ Company and make a difference!We are proud that Together for Children Sunderland is rated ‘outstanding’ in a judgement by Ofsted in 2021, in recognition of the stability of our very well supported and talented workforce who deliver an ongoing commitment to improving children’s outcomes. Join us and help us in continuing our outstanding journey!Visa sponsorship: We welcome applications from all nationalities; however, successful candidates must have the right to work in the UK by the commencement of employment. Some children and young people who are in care have little or no contact with their families. They live in a children’s home and may have moved among numerous foster carers or could be looked after by a family member or friend. The young people see independent visitors as adult friends who support them through difficult times. You may support them to join a sports team, or take them to activities such as the cinema, cycling, bowling or dog walking. You will provide a listening ear and, in many cases, offer a long-term support to the young person
We are looking for volunteers from all walks of life who have some free time to offer a child or young person. Requirements:
To be an independent visitor you must be over the age of 21.

No formal education or qualifications are needed. You will need to have an active interest in the welfare of children, a flexible attitude and be resilient. Above all, you need to be reliable and committed to visiting your child or young person regularly.

The successful applicants will be required to apply for a Disclosure & Barring Service Enhanced Disclosure.
