Coaching volunteer - Make a Real Difference

If you're someone who enjoys helping others and wants to give back to your community, becoming a volunteer employment coach could be the perfect fit. In this role, you'll support men in the Northeast as they search for work, helping them recognize their strengths and boost their confidence as they go after the jobs that suit them best.

You'll chat with each person, talk through their experiences, and offer genuine support with things like CVs, cover letters, and application forms. You'll also help them get ready for interviews by running practice sessions and giving advice that's encouraging and useful. Part of what you'll do is help people notice the areas where they can grow and celebrate their progress along the way.

We're looking for volunteers who are caring, open, and good listeners. If you're happy sharing your knowledge, giving feedback that helps people improve, and have some experience interviewing candidates, that's a big plus. Team spirit matters here, and it helps to be comfortable in an environment where things can change quickly.

If you have free time and want to volunteer, we would love to hear from you.
