Volunteer lands permanent youth coach role

Sarah currently commits 2-3 hours per week to volunteering, but this is soon to change - not because she no longer wants to volunteer, but because she has recently secured a full-time role as a youth coach in Presbyterian Support’s Youth Service team.

Applying for a permanent role was always her next step, so when she saw the opportunity, and was encouraged to apply by her mentor coordinator, she took it. Her volunteer role has been especially useful for the transition – as she sees many familiar faces and has already made plenty of lasting connections. 

Sarah says she chose Presbyterian Support because she, “Really liked how the staff talked about the services in a positive way and how the staff were treated – I wanted to work in a supportive workplace.” 

Sarah’s new role will involve supporting young people with budgeting, parenting, housing, and education assistance to ensure they receive the Government funding they are eligible for.
