Resumo: The community we work with generally have a high rate of social housing, with high unemployment and social deprivation. Many of our service users would have a history of offending and engaging in some form of substance misuse. We offer volunteers a chance to work in a social care environment which can be complex and challenging yet supportive and energizing. We work with individuals with a wide range of health and social difficulties and we have highly trained and experienced staff and resources to provide interventions to this client group. The environment is one of constant change and requires flexibility from volunteers as the needs of our service users are constantly changing. We offer volunteers a chance to work closely along with our staff in a safe and professional manner. We will provide intensive induction, training and development to volunteers to maximise the benefit to them so that they will have a fulfilling and valued experience in their placement.

Many of the young people need help and guidance with basic tasks on a day to day basis. The role of EVS Volunteer will be to help young people with their daily living skills as set out in an action plan which was drawn up after an assessment of needs. Help in this area is a vital building block to achieving independence and autonomy for our homeless community.

Perfil: We would also like EVS volunteers to innovate and develop new ways of engaging and relating to the disadvantaged young people we work with. We are willing to support any ideas or projects they might have and implement new practices.
We are seeking volunteers who are motivated to work in the social care environment we work in especially in the area of social disadvantage in inner city areas. Volunteers need to have demonstrated their interest to become involved in their application to ensure that we can match their interests appropriately.

In particular we look at a range of the following skills and interest from volunteers. This will form the basis of an EVS volunteer description which we use to assess all applications fairly and transparently:
English Language (written and oral)
Interest in personal development
Interest in professional development in the area of social problems/housing/health issues
Interest in gaining knowledge of Irish health and housing sector
Ability to work well in a team
Able to deliver practical skills to others
An interest in gaining an understanding of the needs of homeless people

Age: 17-30

Tarefas: Volunteers will have a wide range of tasks depending on their placement. They will have the opportunity to gain new skills and experiences of working in a team and also directly with our service users. The types of tasks will be as follows:
- Be friending and general social support
