North Yorkshire Council Community Promotional Support Volunteer Role

This volunteering role supports North Yorkshire Council’s Living Well Smokefree service by helping to raise awareness of stop smoking support across local communities. Volunteers may share information about the service, help promote volunteer opportunities, and assist with community engagement through networking, word of mouth and local events.

The role is suited to people who are sociable, confident speaking to others, and comfortable representing the service in a public-facing way.

The work can be carried out remotely, in person, or as a mix of both depending on your preference. Typical activities include helping with volunteer recruitment materials, distributing information in your area, keeping notice boards and shop windows updated, and linking with local organisations that may benefit from stop smoking support.

Volunteers are encouraged to use their initiative, work independently and help strengthen community connections.

Support and training are provided, including induction and ongoing guidance. Travel expenses are reimbursed in line with the volunteer expenses policy, and the role offers access to online training, reflective supervision and opportunities to develop skills while contributing to a public health service that aims to save lives.
