Volunteer Opportunities
Salford Foundation has a dedicated space for men in Salford, The Shed, where we work with people to help them move forward with their lives. We support men with issues such as housing, employment, energy and debt advice, low mental health and social isolation. Based at our Acton Square site, we operate a Wellbeing Hub, an alternative location to traditional probation services. We give men the opportunity to get involved in cooking, gardening, off-site trips and more. Acton Square is a hive of activity from Monday-Friday and we are looking for volunteers to help us manage the many visitors accessing the site during the day.
As part of our Targeted Adult Services team, you will:
• Meet and greet all visitors with a friendly and positive attitude
• Answer the door and assist with signing visitors in and out of the centre
• Provide visitors with initial information about our services and direct them to the appropriate staff member
• Chat with visitors while they wait to be seen, offering them refreshments
• Become familiar with our timetable of activities, telling visitors what’s on that day
• Support staff with any additional duties to ensure the smooth running of activities
