The dedication of our colleagues and our volunteers drives our work. We will keep building St Mungo’s as a great place where we can all thrive, and we will provide the best support possible to our clients and to each other.
We couldn’t do what we do at St Mungo’s without our partners, commissioners and supporters and we are immensely grateful to 1000 of our colleagues and 800 of our clients for the invaluable role they played in developing our strategy and aim to end homelessness, which has no place in 21st century society.
What does the opportunity involve doing?
We are looking for short-term volunteers to help us find new ways of supporting our clients on a 1-2-1 basis and developing their independent living skills to move on away from homelessness. You will also be working with specific clients on building their confidence, looking after their health and wellbeing, managing their budget and own accommodation (e.g. tenancy agreement obligations and rights).
