We received information from Citizens Advice Stirling
Are you interested in becoming a Volunteer?
Stirling District Citizens Advice Bureau is now seeking to recruit volunteer advisers for our next adviser training programme in January 2025.
Due to the impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis there remains a very high demand for advice in the community. Stirling Citizens Advice Bureau is therefore now seeking to recruit additional volunteers to train as advisers.
Who can volunteer with the Citizens Advice Bureau?
Anyone can volunteer. You don’t have to come with formal qualifications or a vast amount of knowledge. Our training will help you become a confident adviser with a constantly updated information system to work with. We hope to recruit volunteers who reflect the community they serve; we hope people of all ages and backgrounds will be interested in finding out more about volunteering with their local CAB.
When does the next volunteer intake begin?
Volunteer Advisers:
The CAB adviser training programme for advisers starts on Friday 10th of January. The training comprises three months of Friday morning taught sessions in person (from 10-2pm) and 30+ online modules which you can access in your own time. Once the training has progressed volunteers will be expected to come into the Bureau to shadow other advisers for at least 3 hours per week.
Once trained we are looking for a minimum time commitment of 6 hours per week delivered either on one full day or two half days per week advising the public. The advice service is open for this 10 – 3 pm Monday to Thursday.
