Volunteer Vacancies

Information and Carer Planning Service (ICPS) Volunteers - Based in our offices in Borehamwood and Hertford)

Keeping in Touch Service Volunteers: You will make regular phone calls to carers who feel isolated and have requested a monthly Keep in Touch call. You will phone carers to find out how they are and update them on anything we are doing relevant to them such as courses, speakers at Hubs, new services or changes to existing ones, or other activities. If they need further support you will refer them to the Carer Support Advisors. This role is based at our Borehamwood office and we are looking for cover on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Carers' Passport and Call Back Team Volunteers: The Carers' Passport Team processes and fulfils requests for our Carers' Passport Discount Card and renewing cards, as they are valid for three years.

The roles are based in our Hertford office and we are looking for cover on Mondays to Wednesdays and Fridays.
