Summary
We are looking for a friendly volunteer to help us manage visitors to our youth hub Thursday 2-5pm.Detailed description
Our youth hub is a busy space for young sanctuary seekers. We run every Thurs from 2-5pm.
We offer a welcoming space for young asylum seekers.
Demand for our service is high and we cannot accomodate everyone who tries to attend. We are looking for volunteers who can help us manage the door to the youth hub. We are struggling to do this as a staff team and it can be difficult for us to deal with the number of people who want to attend the session.
We are looking for volunteers who are calm and empathetic. This role will require talking to people at the door, finding out if they have attended before, finding out if they are suitable to attend our youth hub (we often have adults trying to attend) and signposting those who we cannot admit to other services.
We are looking for either one person or a couple of people who can commit weekly or help cover a weekly rota to help us with this.
