We are looking for volunteers help us manage enquiries from potential clients as well as manage our booking and assessment systems. This role could be undertaken from our office in Beach Road, Littlehampton or done remotely via a mobile phone and a PC/laptop. It is possible that several volunteers could cover this work by each offering a few hours each week/fortnight. The role calls for people with excellent interpersonal skills particularly using a telephone. When clients call us they may be anxious or upset and we need people who can manage such calls. We have recently installed Microsoft 365 and we need someone who is either familiar with this system or who is sufficiently IT literate to learn it.
We are a service that is in the process of managing huge change. We are expanding what we do and changing how we do it. We offer the opportunity to work within a caring organisation that is striving to adapt rapidly to a post-covid world.
