Job Description:

Birmingham Children’s Trust is looking for dedicated and compassionate volunteers to support children and young people in care and care leavers. Many of our young people simply need a reliable person they can trust — someone who will be there for them consistently and without judgement. Through a range of programmes, you can make a genuine difference: Independent Visitors – Befriending Service (Ages 8–17); Develop Me Mentoring Programme (Ages 16–25); Next Step – Befriending Service (Ages 16–25). As a volunteer, you will be a positive, consistent presence in a young person’s life, offering encouragement, guidance, and a safe space to talk. Whether through befriending, mentoring, or shared activities, your support can help them grow in confidence and feel more connected.

Job Responsibility:

  • Spend regular quality time together, building trust and rapport
  • Encourage them to try new activities and experiences
  • Support their personal goals, whether in education, work, hobbies, or wellbeing
  • Help develop essential life and social skills
  • Provide a listening ear during challenges or changes
  • Signpost to useful opportunities, services, and resources
  • Celebrate their achievements, big or small

Requirements:

  • Reliable, trustworthy and approachable
  • Able to listen without judgement
  • Skilled at building rapport with young people
  • Passionate about supporting children and young adults to reach their potential
What we offer:
  • Free DBS check provided
  • Full training in mentoring, befriending, safeguarding, communication skills, relationship building and coaching
  • Opportunities to attend events and activities with young people
  • Ongoing support from our team
  • The chance to make a genuine, lasting difference in a young person’s life
