A Day In the Life
Challenging, rewarding, empowering, fulfilling and fun are just a few words to describe my experience at Citizens Advice Lewes. I started the comprehensive training programmes last September with a great group of like mind people, all committed to help people in our local community.
Our Trainer was excellent, patient and despite there being a great deal of information to absorb, it never felt too overwhelming.It was a real eye opener to realise the variety of subjects that Citizens Advice offer their free impartial service on, a wonderful opportunity for me to broaden my horizons and learn new things.
The transition from training to being an adviser on the ground (a slightly scary thought, for all our group) was in fact seamless. We started by answering emails, then answering the phone lines and in the future, I hope to see clients face to face.On a day-to-day basis we have access to excellent resources, continuous support from the training team and everything is thoroughly checked.
This is an ongoing and very welcome aspect to volunteering here. The all-knowing Supervisor is always at hand to help with any queries and then of course there are the other paid staff and volunteers. What an amazing group of people! It is a privilege to work alongside them, and I just love it!
