Advisors & Administrators
Providing the right advice for disabled people, carers and professionals is vital to our work. We receive enquiries on housing, benefits, local services, leisure and the law each month on our Advice Service. No specific qualifications are required for this role as mentoring and training are provided. Being able to communicate on an advice line is required and a good telephone manner is desirable. Knowledge of disability issues and services is desirable, but training is available for the enthusiastic volunteer who is looking for the opportunity to learn.
Receptionists
Our busy reception at the DAAC is a great place to work, with a wide variety of clients coming in every day. You will be working with the Richmond AID team to ensure reception is covered at lunchtime and for certain meetings, that clients receive a warm and friendly service and calls are put through to the relevant person. Some customer service or reception skills would be useful but full training will be given.
