Community Champions at POhWER support our paid advocates by assisting people who struggle to find and understand information, speak up, and have their voices heard during important decisions about their future. They bring valuable real-life experience and skills to the service, helping advocates address non-complex issues. As a Volunteer Community Champion, you will work closely with the local Community Manager and team to promote POhWER’s services within the local community. You may have lived experience using advocacy services or knowledge of health and social care. You will support the development of self-advocacy groups and help service users build their own self-advocacy skills. Additionally, you may choose to work alongside paid advocates, offering one-to-one and small group support to people in your local area. Additional Opportunities: You will have the chance to shadow staff in their daily roles, gaining a deeper understanding of POhWER’s back-office processes and services. As you develop your knowledge and skills, your manager may also discuss other volunteer opportunities available in your area that align with your interests.
