volunteer Learning Placement
Volunteer Learning Placement
Feeling Strong’s Learning Placement is designed for those with an interest in mental health and helping vulnerable young people reach their full potential. This post is designed to give you work experience to develop skills for your future career goals and knowledge of the foundations of Mental Health & Wellbeing. During the placement you can complete two SQA recognised qualifications and work with Feeling Strong in one of two different capacities, on either an operations or services basis.
Operations Learning Placement
The Operations Learning Placement will involve helping with the day-to-day running of Feeling Strong. This could include creating resources for our website or working with partner organisations and different stakeholders to help reach those who need it most. The operations learning placement is ideal for those who want to contribute to Feeling Strong’s behind the scenes work and can include administrative tasks.
Services Learning Placement
The Project Learning Placement will involve working on a specific project within Feeling Strong’s framework. An example of this includes our Peer Coaching & Listening Service, planning and assisting with fundraising, and could also include projects delivered under any of Feeling Strong’s work streams. These are Learning & Skills, Recovery & Support, Research & Content, Community & Outreach and Campaigns & Advocacy.
