Volunteer
Volunteers are an essential part of Behind Closed Doors. We provide a training programme, a named supervisor and ongoing support. In return we ask for a minimum of 6 months commitment.
Service-User Group Members
We run Behind Closed Doors Service-User Groups throughout the year. We facilitate a group for women and a separate group for men. As a member, you will play an important role in ensuring the voices of people who have experienced domestic abuse are heard and are central to decision making.
The role you will be involved in will include:
- Support decisions about our services, for example how support is delivered and can we make any improvements to our engagement with service users.
- Help us to ensure our work reaches everyone who needs our help Leeds, and this is tailored to the needs they have identified.
- Support us to ensure how we communicate is engaging and how we should talk about the work we do.
- Influence decisions about the future and focus of the organisation, in partnership with the Board of Trustees.
- Influence team training and the training we offer to the public and other professionals.
You will play a key role in shaping the group, including:
- How often the group will meet.
- How the make up of the group reflects the diverse community that we reach out to.
- Ensuring everyone’s voice is heard in the group.
About you:
- You are a current or previous service user of Behind Closed Doors.
- You share the values held by Behind Closed Doors.
- You are over the age of 16.
