About Palmyra
Palmyra is a residential service supporting people with various mental health diagnosis. People live at Palmyra and receive support on managing their wellbeing, living skills and to achieve their goals.
Why should you volunteer?
You would be building on the good work that staff do by spending more time supporting people to get involved in social and leisure activities. You will be helping people to build confidence and to do more constructive activities whilst having the chance to learn from other people, gain experience, and have fun.
What will you be doing?
- To volunteer a few hours a week at Palmyra at a time that is convenient for you
- Spend time with people, providing emotional support and a listening ear
- Encourage people to get involved in things they enjoy e.g. games, music, walking, animals, arts and crafts. This could be supporting people to do this one to one or in small groups
- Support residents on trips out locally
- To follow the organisation's policies and procedures e.g. Health and Safety, Confidentiality, Equality and Diversity
What skills and experience will you need?
No qualifications are needed but some experience/knowledge of mental health diagnosis is useful. We are looking for volunteers that are good listeners, positive, want to help others and are good with people.
