Our volunteers make a valuable contribution to the work we do and we're always grateful for the time and commitment they give to help our clients make positive changes to their lives. If you'd like to volunteer with NORCAS, we'd love to hear from you.

 

Why volunteer with NORCAS?

  • You can help us deliver services that make a real difference to the lives of others, not just those with addiction and dependency problems, but their families too.
  • You can meet new people and work as part of a friendly team, who will help and support you.
  • You can receive training, learn new skills and gain valuable experience, which can open up new opportunities in your career.
 

A volunteer's story

"I originally heard about NORCAS when I was training to be a counsellor. I needed to get a placement to complete 100 hours' counselling as part of the final year of my training course. I applied to become a volunteer counsellor and after an interview was offered a placement. My responsibilities as a volunteer counsellor were to carry out 1:1 counselling and assessments, and I continued to do this voluntarily after I completed my 3-year college course.

I found NORCAS to be a fantastic organisation. As a volunteer I was provided with relevant training, supervision and support as well as being made to feel really welcome within the team. I wasn't treated differently to any other member of paid staff and was encouraged to apply for jobs within the organisation when they arose. I enjoyed working for NORCAS so much that I did apply for a job and I now work delivering the Drug Rehabilitation Requirement group and 1:1 GamCare counselling.

I would recommend volunteering to anyone wanting to get back into work or change careers. I learnt a huge amount from it and it has facilitated a change in career for me, which may not have happened if I hadn't had the opportunity to volunteer at NORCAS." Kate Lawrence
