At Abbeyfield Living Society, our volunteers are the heart of what we do. Our mission is to support older people in our communities, helping to reduce loneliness and isolation through companionship and time.

The most important thing you bring is yourself. We have roles for everyone, regardless of experience. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm are all we need to get started. If you have specific skills you’d like to share, let us know. We’re always looking for ways to make the most of your talents.

We provide a comprehensive induction program tailored to your volunteer role. This includes all the training and support you need to feel comfortable and empowered to make a difference from day one.

After you apply, you’ll be invited for an informal interview to get to know each other better. It’s a chance to learn about the role and for us to see if you’d be a great fit for the team.

The safety and wellbeing of residents is our top priority. Our volunteering roles require two references and a DBS check. The cost of the DBS check is covered by Abbeyfield. You may be asked to provide details regarding convictions; failure to disclose convictions may result in an offer of volunteering being revoked.

• It’s not just about the skills you bring – it’s about the impact you make. Your time and companionship can mean a lot to someone who might be feeling lonely or isolated.
• Don’t have specific skills? No problem. We can train you and help you discover new talents. The most important thing is your willingness to share your time and make a connection.

Please note this role will require eligibility to work in the UK and the two satisfactory employment references and an Enhanced DBS check, the cost of which will be met by Abbeyfield.
