Get Involved

So, you're interested in joining Dove House as a volunteer. Why not? Over 550 local people can't be wrong!! That's how many active volunteers are currently working for Dove House.

A brief summary of the areas in which your skills are needed is detailed below.

You may not have worked much in the past, but you'd be surprised at the skills and knowledge you do have. Volunteering for Dove House is rewarding, however you choose to help. You get to make lots of new friends, as well as learning new skills and uncovering hidden talents you never knew you had!!

Joining our volunteer team is easy. We will send you a simple Application Form, which we will ask you to complete and return. On this, you will need to provide basic details about yourself, such as name, address, work history and any skills you may have that you feel may be relevant.

You will also need to provide the names and addresses of two referees. Referees may be your Manager, a work colleague, friends or neighbours, but should not be a family member. Once we have received and processed your Application Form, we will contact you to arrange an informal chat.

All volunteers, except those working in Retail, will also need to complete a Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure Application Form. Don't let this deter you - it is not as bad as it sounds, and our friendly Volunteer Services staff will help you complete the form, if needed.

As long as you are over 16 years old, age is not a problem, so whether you are 18 or 80, there is a job to suit you.
