VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are an integral part of our work and every week our team of committed volunteers enable us to reach out to and support some of the most vulnerable women in Coventry. You could come and be part of a team making a real difference in our city.

WHAT YOU CAN GAIN FROM VOLUNTEERING

The volunteering roles at Kairos offer a wide range of experiences, from office-based roles covering admin, finance, and data systems to supporting the facilitation of our daytime groups, our evening street based outreach and drop-in, or supporting our Practitioners to deliver direct support work. The work is varied and interesting and sometimes challenging! You can read about one volunteer’s experience of supporting our Drop-In here.

You will hopefully gain great satisfaction from using and/or building your skills to support women subject to or at risk of sexual exploitation and strengthen Kairos as an organisation. You will also gain direct or indirect experience of working with women who are struggling with life controlling issues such as abuse, homelessness and substance use.

Induction, ongoing training and support and supervision is offered to all volunteers, and volunteer expenses are reimbursed in accordance with the expenses policy.
