We are part of the Adur & Worthing Citizens Advice Bureau. Like most CAB advice centres we never seem to have enough volunteers to meet the needs of an ever more complex society. In Worthing alone we deal with around 10,000 problems every year. 

If you are thinking of becoming a volunteer, we would be delighted to hear from you. We have a variety of roles suitable for all sorts of people, ranging from Receptionists, Trustee Board Members, Gateway Assessors, Advisers, Social Policy and IT workers. Where appropriate we offer structured and recognised training programmes, depending on which role you choose.

If you are community spirited, you are also able to ‘give something back’ to the community in which you live. You learn a lot about systems and procedures that surround us all and will touch upon our lives or the lives of others; these include Housing, Debt, Benefits, Family, and Employment issues. You will be part of an established organisation, working with like-minded people and feel the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference for others.

Everyone coming into the Bureau will receive initial training to help you understand the work of both the Citizens Advice organisation and the Bureau. Further training is then available for specific roles. Training is based at one of the advice centres within the Bureau.

The bureau operates an Equal Opportunity and Fair Treatment Policy to include all members of our community regardless of race, sex, disability, sexual identity or marital status – come and join us, you will made very welcome.
