Home Visiting Family Support Volunteer – VH15

Overview

We are looking for compassionate, committed, non-judgmental and caring individuals to join our community of volunteers to share their parenting experience and knowledge with families in Norfolk. Could you spare 2 to 3 hours a week to support a family in need? Our volunteers need to be friendly, approachable, trustworthy and good listeners.

Being a parent has never been easy. It can be lonely, frustrating, heartbreaking and overwhelming. Our volunteers offer tailored support to families in their own homes, helping parents to develop their confidence to learn to cope with the challenges and stresses life has thrown at them. As a parent or someone with caring experience, you’ll have the understanding to support those families who need some extra help…your help.

• Share parenting experience and knowledge with families in Norfolk.
