Torbay Citizens Advice

The work of Torbay Citizens Advice Bureau would not be possible without people like you. The majority of our staff are volunteers, dedicated to answering the many enquiries we receive each year.

There are many ways to get involved. You could train to be an adviser, help streamline the office admin systems, use your IT skills, language skills or knowledge of local communities, or become a Trustee.

All our volunteer advisers are fully trained. You do not need to have any particular qualification or experience, but the following abilities will help:

• be a good listener and open minded
• able to work with clients to achieve results
• can read complex information and explain it
• can do basic maths
• can work as a team member
• can commit yourself to a certain number of hours each week
• support equal opportunities

As a volunteer it's not just the CAB who gains, but you too. It could give you vital skills for the future and is good experience for paid employment. You'll also get 100% support, full training and your expenses paid. We are committed to equal opportunities for all our workers and clients and strive towards meeting the needs of volunteers regardless of race, gender, sexuality or disabilities.
