The Amy Winehouse Foundation has launched its ‘Resilience Programme’, a drug and alcohol education and awareness programme delivered in secondary schools across England in partnership with Addaction.
This unique programme works with volunteers in recovery to deliver life experience share sessions and resilience classroom workshops focusing on peer pressure, self-esteem and risky behaviour. Addaction works with teachers and students to provide therapeutic support to any student that requires a structured treatment intervention. The Amy Winehouse Foundation is recruiting Volunteer Co-ordinators to deliver life experience share sessions to teachers, parents and students and classroom workshops on self esteem, peer pressure and risky behaviour and to recruit and manage volunteers in abstinent recovery to assist in the delivery of these Resilience Programme sessions. We are looking to recruit in the following locations:
Barnsley, S. Yorkshire
Liverpool/Halton
Bournemouth
Lincoln, Lincolnshire
Havering
We are looking for talented and motivated individuals who share our passion for working with young people and for working with people in recovery. You should be in abstinent recovery, ideally having completed a structured recovery programme and possess excellent communication, organisation and presentation skills and be IT literate with competency in Microsoft Office and Excel. The role will be part time for the first 12 months at 25 hours per week, increasing to full time hours in year 2 onwards. Whilst relevant volunteer management qualifications would be seen as beneficial we also offer relevant NVQ level 3 training for this role.
