We understand everyone’s availability is different, so please talk to us — even a few hours each week can make a real difference.

Volunteering offers many benefits, from building confidence and learning new skills to meeting new people and reducing stress. It’s also a rewarding way to support your local community.

No previous experience is needed, as full training will be provided. We’re looking for volunteers who are friendly, reliable, willing to learn, able to work independently, and happy to be part of a supportive team. Your time will make a meaningful difference to the children and families supported by Julia’s House.

Equality and diversity

Julia’s House is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and our aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our clients, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. Based on our current staffing profile, we have identified that there is an under-representation of: (a) individuals of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, so would especially welcome BAME applicants for any of our vacant positions; and (b) males, so we would welcome male applicants for any of our vacant positions and specially for any care and nursing roles.
