Overview
Wirral Ways provides free, confidential support for people affected by drugs, alcohol, and gambling across Wirral. We work with individuals, families, and communities to improve health, wellbeing, and recovery, meeting people where they are and supporting them at their own pace.
Whether you are looking for advice, treatment, harm reduction support, or just someone to talk to, we are here to help.
We are a free and confidential drug and alcohol service for adults, young adults, families, carers, and affected others across the Wirral. We provide a non-judgemental service, with qualified, experienced staff and volunteers who offer support in health & wellbeing and substance misuse. We can talk to you in several supportive environments, all of which have a friendly atmosphere, and provide you with information to help you reduce your substance misuse or to become abstinent.
We are part of Change Grow Live, a national health and social care charity which provides a range of treatment, recovery, and support services for those who have concerns about their drug or alcohol use.
Responsibilities
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 Wirral Ways, 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
At Wirral Ways, 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 Wirral Ways 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.
