The organization is an STA (supported temporary accommodation) to 42 men on a 6 month basis and long term accommodation (accommodation for life) to 18 service users over the age of 18. This service accepts people with drug, alcohol and mental health issues.
The EVS volunteer will work alongside, and be part of a large team of full time staff and numerous part time volunteers and student placements. This will add to the basic service the staff can provide for service users.

The service has essentially two sides. Long term (generally older service users) and short term (generally younger service users). The task of the volunteer would be to engage these groups individually or in small groups, to undertake some social activities.

This can include activities in the project itself or also away from the project. In all such activities Volunteers will be supervised either by their supervisor or by project staff.
