Become a Volunteer at

BRANCAB

(Bedworth, Rugby and Nuneaton Citizens Advice Bureau)

Please complete the form below to express your interest.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Volunteers who give advice are at the heart of our service and we really could not manage without them. We want to recruit a number of trainee Advisers - people from all walks of life and all ages.

All we ask is that you offer a commitment of one day per week. After training you can choose a day (9.30am - 4pm) that suits you. We'll even cover your travel expenses.

Why you should join us:

Citizens Advice is a charity that helps people find their way forward. Last year we helped 2.55 million people with their problems. This year, we’re on the front line of the cost-of-living crisis, and more people than ever need our support.

As a charity, we can’t do what we do without our amazing volunteers, and they tell us it’s hugely rewarding. You’ll make a difference in your community, learn new skills, and meet people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Our volunteers donate their time for many different reasons. For some it’s a chance to support the local community and keep active. Whether you can spare just a few hours or a few days each week, every single minute you spend volunteering could make a real difference.

You will receive:

First class training

We pride ourselves on the quality of our training. All we'll need from you is basic IT skills (internet & email), the ability to read & write, a willingness to negotiate and research. In return we'll teach you every thing you need to know to become a first class Adviser.

Support

We're a team. We understand that it's impossible to know everything, which is why we have an extensive dedicated database you are able to draw on, and experienced in-house specialists who can guide you to provide the right information you'll need to support a client.

Mentoring

Once you've completed training, you'll not only have gained new friends, but also reassurance from a strong team who will continue to support you and help broaden your knowledge. In fact many of our qualified trainees go on to support new trainees.

What you will gain:

Playing your part

Nationally, we have over 23,000 highly trained volunteers supporting the delivery of our service. They come from all sorts of backgrounds and help with everything we do.

Looking ahead

If you want to try something different, becoming a volunteer adviser can not only be rewarding, it can give you the confidence to tackle things you could only have dreamt of doing.

Direction

Some of the most interesting people we've met are retired and want to apply the skills acquired to support the local community. What we will do is help you realise your potential whatever stage of life you have reached!

All our advisers will tell you that it is personally rewarding being part of a team that specialises in giving help and support when it is most needed.
