Volunteers Required - Community Chaplaincy Listening Service (CCL)
Are you a good Listener??
Listening to people’s concerns can help them feel less isolated and less anxious, whilst helping them feel more hopeful, valued and heard.
The Listening service provides a safe, confidential space, free from judgement by trained Community Chaplaincy Listening Service (CCL) listeners, for the individuals they support to speak about whatever is troubling them.
There is no requirement for volunteers, or those using their services, to be a member of a faith group, just be able to provide a service that has people at heart, giving them space to feel safe, seen and heard, and allowing them to reflect on their own personal situations.
Experience required:
Experience of working with others in a listening capacity, either formally or informally, would be ideal, combined with being able to fully commit to the initial training and ongoing support.
Volunteer listeners are placed within GP practices around Aberdeen City and at the Health Village (please note you will not be placed in the GP practice you are registered as a patient).
