If you're a sociable person with limited time, living in and around Hangleton and Knoll and you'd like to join our community response to youth homelessness, this is the perfect role for you! Also a great way to connect more with your community.

As a small, community-orientated charity, with our funding focused on service delivery, we need help from sociable people to raise our profile throughout Brighton & Hove’s (and surrounding areas) many communities. Residents are ideally placed to connect with local public places, groups, events and businesses.

Our community champions help us to create and maintain a presence in each community.

We are ideally seeking a minimum commitment of one year to the Community Champion role to allow for training, settling in and continuity. Hours are flexible and controlled by the volunteer.

• Join our training program through which you can (if you wish) acquire additional knowledge and skills in areas such as safeguarding, equal opportunities and diversity, communication, behaviour and attachment.  
• The opportunity to meet a wide and diverse range of people and through this to broaden your life perspective through an increased understanding and knowledge of the issues facing vulnerable people. 

Practical Considerations

Flexible hours, 6-8 hours per month at times that suit you. 

What skills do I need?

We welcome anyone with a desire to help and the drive to make a difference. All you need is:

• Good communication skills – a ‘people person’.
