Support Network - The Benevolent Fund of The Institution of Mechanical Engineers

CURRENT VACANCIES: August 2012. Can you help us?

Volunteer VISITORS needed throughout SCOTLAND, plus in the NORTH EAST and SOUTH WEST of England.

At Support Network, we rely on our team of volunteer Visitors to assist us with assessing new applications for support and maintaining contact with our financial beneficiaries. Due to the increase in demand for our services (and to the retirement of some of our existing volunteers) we need to recruit new volunteers to the team.

Whilst the office staff undertake some visits, we much prefer that Members or dependants receive visits from other Members. We additionally prefer to use our charitable resources indirectly helping people, rather than in overheads.

We are particularly in need of new volunteers throughout Scotland, and the North East and South West of England.

We would be delighted to hear from Members who might be able to help us in these areas. The time commitment is not great, usually comprising of 2 visits (and associated reports) per year for each allocated beneficiary. Visits are arranged at a mutually convenient time between the Visitor and the beneficiary.
