Covid-19 Volunteers Meeting  –  Wednesday 2 June 6-7pm

Harrow Council’s Public Health team is organising a meeting for those who have signed up to be Covid-19 volunteers or those who would like to do so.

This is the second in a series of meetings for community members and residents who would like to be part of the effort in getting Harrow vaccinated by providing up to date information and resources to your family, friends and neighbours.

We are interested in calling upon even more people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds (including Eastern Europeans) to join us as volunteers.

Covid-19 volunteers will be invited to regular monthly meetings with the Public Health team, receive priority up-to-date Covid-19 data, as well as relevant resources to help you communicate with your friends and family.

Community members who would like to sign up as volunteers, please write to Sudheesh.Bhasi@harrow.gov.uk.

They are currently looking for Test Processor and Test Assistant volunteers to ensure they have a safe environment for their returning learners across all four campuses in Ealing, Hammersmith, Southall and Park Royal. 

Attached – outline of the opportunities.

Contact hrresourcing@wlc.ac.uk if interested.

Some of these placements were taken up by retired people or people who just wanted to get out of their homes and work voluntarily in the community. Others were for job-seekers. About 20 job-seekers every year found employment – some within a month, others over a period of up to 2 years while they improved their English and built up their digital skills and self-confidence at our Centre.

Job-seekers included a wide range of people: people who had never worked at all; people who had experience of work but not in this country including highly qualified and experienced professional people; college-leavers and people seeking to return to work after child care, illness or redundancy.

Carramea tracked all the voluntary tasks and training completed by the volunteers and recorded their progress. This information was used to advise job-seekers on job applications and interviews and was used when Carramea provided references.

When Carramea closed the Centre to comply with Government guidance, things became more difficult and we replicated digitally whatever we could. We’re pleased to say that Carramea volunteers are still managing to gain employment in a range of jobs and professions.

With more than 20 voluntary organisations registered at our Centre, we are often able to obtain a 2^nd in-house placement which provides additional opportunities and a valuable 2^nd professional reference. After an initial placement with Carramea we sometimes manage to help volunteers gain a more career-specific placement in a specialised setting which leads to employment.

If you are seeking your first job or seeking re-employment, we encourage you to contact us and we will work together for as long as it takes for you to get a job. We look forward to hearing from you.
