Volunteer at St Pauls
Join the Community
Would you like to meet new people and feel part of a community? Would you like to gain skills for work, life or career change? Would you like to share your knowledge and skills with others?
Gifting your time as a volunteer, whether it is a couple of hours a week or a couple of days a week can make a huge difference to the people we support and potentially you too!
What is volunteering?
Volunteering is not the same as employment; it is an individual’s choice to give up their free time to help and benefit others.
What will I be doing?
We offer lots of opportunities for volunteers of all ages and from different walks of life. There are many opportunities within our different departments.
We will try our best to find a placement that fits in with your availability and ensure that it is compatible with your own interests, skills and goals.
How much time do I have to give?
When you sign up to be a volunteer, you can tell us how much time you would like to give, and the volunteer coordinator can talk to you about how that can fit around what we do at St Paul’s. There is no upper or lower limit, although some roles may require a regular time commitment.
Will I be supported in my role?
You will be joining a large and growing team of staff and volunteers. In return for your valuable time and commitment, you can expect support from staff, training opportunities and a chance to meet other volunteers and give feedback to staff.
We are committed to the safeguarding and wellbeing of everyone who works, volunteers and uses our services. As such, we will ask you to complete some essential training which includes Safeguarding Children, Safeguarding Adults, Health and Safety, Equality and Diversity training.
How do I apply to be a volunteer?
The first step is complete our Expression of Interest form (below).
If you decide you would like to proceed with volunteering, we will ask you to complete our Volunteer Application Form and we will arrange for you to come in and meet us (informal interview). All of our volunteer opportunities are subject to suitable references and Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS check).
When you are ready to start, you will be supported through your volunteer induction
