If you are compassionate, like helping and meeting people, then this could be the role for you.

  • Have experience in helping vulnerable people. Previous experience working with people aged 55+ would be great.
  • Be willing to travel anywhere within the Belfast area (BT

Health and Safety Statement

  • We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety.
  • We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment. We will also have a conversation with you to discuss any restrictions that may still be in place in your region and identify any adjustments you may need.

Diversity

  • Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.
