What you’ll be doing
As a Big Brother Big Sister volunteer, you’ll be matched with a child or young person and spend regular time together building a positive, trusted relationship.

This is a long-term mentoring role where your time, consistency and encouragement can have a lasting impact. It’s not about doing anything extraordinary — it’s about showing up, spending time together, and helping a young person build confidence, try new experiences, and feel valued.

What this might look like:

• Meeting regularly (around an hour a week)
• Doing simple activities together — going for a walk, playing games, or trying something new
• Being a consistent, positive role model
• Building trust over time through conversation and shared experiences

What we’re looking for:

• Someone reliable and able to commit long-term
• Friendly, patient and approachable
• Able to build a positive, supportive relationship with a young person
• Comfortable working within boundaries and guidance from staff

What you’ll get from it:

• The chance to make a real, lasting difference in a young person’s life
• A meaningful one-to-one connection
• Full training and ongoing support from our team

Important to know:

• Full training will be provided
• An enhanced DBS check is required for this role
• We’ll support you every step of the way

To enhance the lives of all those we come into contact with.
