Caseworkers help to deliver vital services to our beneficiaries, improving lives every day. By nurturing and empowering your peers, you can help ensure we effectively meet the needs of the Armed Forces community, both now, and in the future.
In growing our network of volunteers, peer support is an invaluable source of help available to new and returning caseworkers. As part of an integrated team of staff and volunteers, you will play a key role in building confidence, competence, and a sense of community around caseworkers, enabling them to deliver high quality casework and thrive in role.
