Volunteer for Victim Support
Hi Neighbours,
Victim Support are currently recruiting new volunteers in the Manawatu Taranaki region, who can be there to help people coping with the impacts of crime and trauma.
If you’re a sensitive, resilient and good listener, with good written communication skills, computer literate and able to commit some time each week, we’d like to hear from you!
Volunteers receive comprehensive training and support from our professional team, and no qualifications or experience are required. Our next Initial Programme Training (ITP) in the Central region is planned for 4/5 and 18/19 April.
Contact us to find out more – call 0800 VOLUNTEER or go to our website.
We would love to hear from you!
