Volunteering

The Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Area regularly appeals for adult volunteers to act as mentors to men and women who are currently on a Community Order.

Can you tick the boxes?

• good communication skills
• a non-judgmental approach/open mind
• reliability
• patience
• flexibility

Volunteers must be 18 years and over, and be prepared to give a minimum of two hours a week towards mentoring their assigned client. The Probation Area runs a short training course - and provides on-going advice and support to all members of its voluntary mentoring team. Expenses are provided.

Working as a volunteer can help when looking for new career opportunities. Because of the nature of our work, we take up references and do Criminal Record Bureau and child protection checks.
