Job Description
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to get involved with your local Big Issue office. This post involves exciting and varied work which would be a great addition to the work already done in the Nottingham area and you will be helping to change people’s lives for the better.
For many homeless people, selling The Big Issue is the first step to gain or regain control of their lives. The Big Issue office in Nottingham works directly with Big Issue vendors, providing them with the means to earn a legitimate living and regain control over their lives.
We are looking for Romanian speaking, friendly, enthusiastic, motivated & sociable volunteers to provide crucial ‘On-street-sales support’ in the Nottingham area and also provide support based from the Nottingham office.
In this voluntary role, you will help translate between Romanian speaking vendors and Big Issue staff while on outreach, providing on street support to our vendors and training new vendors. You will also help raise awareness about The Big Issue to the public and liaise with other organisations and services. You will also receive supervision from Big Issue staff who you will directly report to.
This is a great opportunity to help empower vendors and help them to access services and opportunities which The Big Issue offers to improve their quality of life. Our time scale for volunteering is flexible but a commitment to the social objectives of The Big Issue is essential.
