The Citizens Advice Bureau is a voluntary service, which relies on volunteers, not only to train as advice workers, but also to participate in its management, administration, publicity and campaigning work. CAB is in the front line tackling social exclusion
Haddington currently employs one full time manager, a full time Money Adviser, a full time administrator and a part time Outreach Co-ordinator responsible for Outreach Services.
The volunteers undertake all the other work.
Volunteering in the CAB can offer:
an opportunity to learn new skills and develop existing skills.
Work experience that may help you get paid employment or access to education and training.
Work in the front line of social policy.
Team work - the chance to meet new people and work with others.
Your travelling expenses to and from the Bureau.
We ask volunteer advisers to give commitment to:
Undertake basic training and regular in-service training.
Work at least two sessions (a minimum of 6 hours) a week and attend staff meetings.
There are opportunities for experienced workers to train for specialist work in money advice, representation and tutoring.
We recruit all the time for advice workers. People don't need formal qualifications to be an advice worker but you do need to be able to listen, communicate on a variety of levels and empathize with client's situations.
