Description: We are recruiting Volunteer Befrienders for our adult focussed autism befriending service. We have vacancies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Our Befrienders meet up with an autistic adult in the community, for a couple of hours once a week. All volunteers will receive training to prepare them for their role, ongoing support and reimbursement of out of pocket expenses. In recognition of our services to improve the lives of families impacted by autism, in June 2020 BAAS received the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the MBE of voluntary organisations. If you have a passion for helping others and would like to become part of an award winning charity’s mission, then please get in touch to discuss the role further.
Requirements: Will require a criminal record check (DBS)
