We are looking for volunteers to support our existing officers in supporting (TRAs)Tenants and Residents Associations in the London Borough of Southwark to achieve their aims by providing practical resources and advice. Assist tenants and residents in evaluating their own procedures and their own involvement.
What You'll Do:
The role would entail the following responsibilities:
- Assist residents to increase the involvement of all their members through producing their own information, leaflets, and newsletters.
- Ensure the residents are aware of information and resources available to them to achieve their aims.
- Use innovative ways of working to provide support to “hard to reach” residents, such as youth, BAME, tenants with disabilities, residents in sheltered units, tenants living in street properties and leaseholders and encourage their full involvement in decision making.
- Work with the voluntary, community and statutory sectors across the borough to deliver common strategies.
- Link residents to appropriate training courses and activities both local and nationally in conjunction with the council.
You will receive an induction to your role and volunteering at the SGTO generally. This will be carried out by our existing very experienced tenants support officers.
We are constantly looking out for external training opportunities, so please let us know if there are any training programmes you think we should apply to.
