Social Work
Students
Victim
Support Lambeth
offers student placements to those participating in the Diploma in Social Work.
Placements at Victim Support Lambeth are for three months, are fully supervised
and fulfil all the competences required by CCETSW.
Social Work
students participate in all aspects of the work of the scheme, gaining insight
into the work of a well known voluntary agency and of other agencies working in
the community, with links to Social Services.
There is an opportunity to work with
people of all ages, from all backgrounds. Students have contact with victims
needing both short and longer term involvement with Victim Support. They make
telephone contact with victims, undertake home visits, see people in the
office, and support victims through advocacy and referral to other agencies.
Trainee Counsellors
Supervised
placements are available at Victim Support Lambeth, for students on fully
accredited counselling courses. Counsellors work with victims of Domestic
Violence and other traumatised people who need space to consider their lives and
the choices available to them.
School/College Students
There are
sometimes opportunities for school/college students to come and do work
experience in the Victim Support Lambeth office. We seek committed young
people keen to work as a part of a team, who are able to help with general
office administration and entering information on our database. Work
experience placements give students the opportunity to learn about the work of a
community based voluntary organisation, and about how a small office is run.
