Crisis Support Helper (Supporting our Crisis workers in CAMHS, Walsall)

Barnardo’s is committed to providing ‘Better Outcomes for More Children’. Our children’s services volunteers help the charity to deliver essential services in local communities, providing support to over 300,000 children, young people and their families. This role provides a great opportunity to join our fantastic children’s services and help make a real difference.

Coronavirus has created a perfect storm of acute need for the families, young people and children we help – and a sudden loss of income for Barnardo’s.

We are working flat out to ensure that we continue to provide essential support to children and families. We are still providing one-to-one support to the most vulnerable children with complex needs and we are redesigning many services, so our staff can provide effective support either online through new digital solutions, by phone or through care packages delivered to family homes.

In order to do this, we need the help of a team of dedicated and essential volunteers who are happy to help out with a variety of tasks to ensure that we are able to support our service users at this difficult time.
