Wanted: Equalities Ambassadors
EaRN is now recruiting volunteers to provide a vital link between local decision makers and the people most affected by inequalities and discrimination.
Training and support will be given. We’re looking for people who are:
- Aware of equalities and rights issues
- Open minded and non-judgemental
- Willing to listen and learn
- Comfortable communicating on behalf of others
- Prepared to accurately report back on communications
The role will vary depending on the strengths and experience that each person brings to it – we are looking for lots of different people with different areas of interest.
Do you know anyone who might fit the bill? Perhaps you have a service user, client or customer that you think would make a great Equalities Ambassador – if so, please encourage them to get in touch with us for a chat and/or an application pack:
equalityandrights@volunteeredinburgh.org.uk or call 0131 561 8313.
