Perfil: • have an understanding of English - as the work requires effective interpersonnel skills and high level communication with vulnerable yoing people.
• age: 18-30

• have an understanding of and interest in the issues facing vulnerable homeless young people
• have skills in working effectively with vulnerable young people
• are willing to share their learning and skills with others

We prefer volunteers who have an interest in working with young homeless people in the UK to those just wishing to come to England. We advertise the vacancies on www.youthnetworks.eu website and get many applications through this or the SOS for EVS Database website via email.

Tarefas: The volunteers tasks include a range of activities from helping residents to shop for and cook a meal, engaging residents in training courses, accompanying residents to appointments, e.g. doctors, running a langauge course in their own language, befriending new residents or helping someone to fill in a benefits form. Their role is very much within the staff team; they attend staff meetings and are inculded on all staff communication from their own and our central (head) office. They are also encouraged to feedback about their EVS placement as well as the project they work in.

Whilst with us we also help the volunteers to develop their own working practice and ideas for working with the client group, as well as supporting them in their own personal development (which may be outside of the project). So, if, for example they are particularly interested in cooking and wish to run a cookery course in the hostel, they can do so with the full support of the staff team and their mentor.

The role is one that is highly valued both by Depaul staff and young people, it can be difficult at times for volunteers to fully adapt to the responsibiliites of the role particularly when it comes to Professional Boundaries, especially when working with young people who are older than they are.

Horário: Schedule
The volunteers work a 30 – 35 hour week in accordance with EVS guidelines (this will include any time spent at language training.) They work on a rota system that may include weekends but will always have two days off in a row that week. The volunteer is entitled to two days holiday per month that they are with us; this can be taken before it is ‘earnt’ if a volunteer wishes to take time off early on in their placement with us.
