Overview
Our mission is to help people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals, and live life to its full potential. Volunteers are essential to Change Grow Live, bringing valuable skills, for some lived experience, and passion that strengthen our teams, improve outcomes, help us break down barriers and support meaningful change for the people we support. We are committed to valuing, supporting, and developing our volunteers.
Responsibilities
At Change Grow Live we believe training is a great way to engage and connect with people who use our services. We also consider that having a well-trained workforce supports us to deliver the best possible outcomes. We offer a wide range of training programmes, which provide varied outcomes to learners.
As a Volunteer Trainer, you will be helping people to complete training to help them access volunteering opportunities within services. This is often an enormous step in the journey of Change Grow Live learners, especially those who have previously struggled in traditional learning settings. You will be in a role which will create genuine and powerful change.
There may also be the opportunity to support training delivered in the community to local stakeholders, such as partner agencies who are working with people who use our services.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
