Volunteers - Nucleus Legal Advice Centre

Our volunteers are integral to the working of Nucleus

We have two different volunteers working with us, building their own skills and supporting our clients.

Advice volunteers

Working alongside the teams, they run the Drop In’s at our office and support the caseworkers. As well as, Quick Advice sessions they are able to provide a higher level of social support to people who may need more social support. This role offers our volunteers high levels of training and support throughout their time with us.

Admin volunteers

These volunteers are the front face of Nucleus. The first people the public see and speak to. They support the calls coming through to the office, the run in of the Drop In’s, allow us to extend our opening hours and ensure our clients access our services of the Quick Advice sessions times. They also help caseworkers stay on top of paperwork and support with other admin tasks.

If you would like to volunteer for Nucleus, you can apply via a simple online form.
