Carbon Monoxide Advice Project Volunteers
Citizens Advice South Gloucestershire is looking for Volunteers to support our Carbon Monoxide Advice Project.
Volunteers will identify and advise local people of the potential lethal dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) and what to do if they think they might be affected.
CO poisoning is responsible for 40 deaths and around 4,000 A&E visits in England and Wales each year. It is odourless and therefore CO poisoning can be difficult to identify.
The role involves adhering to Citizens Advice South Gloucestershire’s vision, mission and values which includes offering a free and confidential advice service.
You will have:
- An approachable, empathetic, friendly manner
- IT competence (essential)
- Respect for views, values and cultures which are different to your own
Applicants should be able to commit to giving three hours per week for at least six months. Full training will be provided.
To apply, please email Finance and Admin Manager Amanda Wood at bureau@sgloscab.cabnet.org.uk to ask for an application form.
The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on Thursday 4th April 2024.
