Our Community Welfare Volunteers play a vital role in helping us create safe, supportive environments at events. This is a non-clinical role focused on wellbeing, reassurance, and supporting vulnerable individuals. You will provide a visible, approachable presence at events, helping people who may feel unwell, distressed, or unsafe, and ensuring they get the right support when they need it. You will work alongside our clinical teams, but as a separate welfare function, focusing on early support, engagement, and escalation rather than medical care. No previous experience is required. We will provide full training in safeguarding, vulnerability awareness, and conflict management to help you feel confident in your role.
