OpportunityAbout this opportunity: UPDATE: Current campaign is now closed but you can register your interest in future campaigns via this link: https://www.chscotland.gov.uk/volunteering-with-us/panel-members/
CHS are recruiting for volunteers across Scotland to help support Scotlands most vulnerable infants, children and young people. We are looking for a diverse range of enthusiastic people aged 18 and over who can show empathy, compassion, trust and who have great listening skills.
Panel Members are volunteers from local communities who take part in children's hearings. Their role is to listen and make legal decisions with and for infants, children and young people who have been referred to the Children's Panel. Panel Members ensure that the young person is at the heart of every decision made "because every decision, no matter how big or small, has an impact on the life of the child or young person in the hearing".
CHS offer a certificated training programme with a highly experienced team to support your development, who will help you along your journey in becoming a panel member.
