Position Overview & Specifications
For many children and young people living in foster care can be unsettling. You can make a difference by volunteering as an Independent Visitor
An independent Visitor is someone there just for the young person to talk to about anything there want they are there to be a positive role-model and are separate from social services. They volunteer in their own free time to help make a difference in a child or young person’s life.
Independent Visitors are separate from social services and all other agencies – they are there just for their young people.
What do Independent Visitors do?
- Meet with their young person monthly with calls in-between to offer support, encouragement, and guidance. This could involve taking part in a fun activity together or simply having a chat and a milkshake in a local café.
- Arrange with the young person and carer to make visits at a suitable time
- Act as a consistent, reliable, and positive adult role model for a young person
- Offer confidential support to the young person they have been specifically matched with
- Help to ensure their young person’s views are heard and considered
- Provide help and advice, be someone to do the things the young person enjoys or encourage them to try new things
- It is always the young person’s choice to have an Independent Visitor and at any point can choose not to have one.
Confidentially
We will only discuss the young person with the social work team if we are worried about their safety or someone’s else’s. We will support you in the role by ensuring that you receive full training, regular supervision and catch ups, have a key contact for day-to-day advice and guidance.
In return for your commitment, you will receive valuable experience and skills, and all expenses occurred will be paid back to you in full and you’ll be making a real deference in a young person’s life too.
