At SOS, we believe everyone has something powerful to offer.
For 10 years, our voluntary workers have helped us support people in crisis through honest, judgement-free conversations. Now, you can make a difference — whether you’ve got 5 hours a week, a full day, or just the willingness to help. You will be offered full training* by us upon clearing the assessment screenings
Ready to Get Started?
* T&Cs: Please note:
Please check before applying that you understand the differences between being a voluntary worker as opposed to being a volunteer or being employed.
Whilst our voluntary workers are under an agreement, as are we, to provide work, this does not imply or categorically mean, that you have a contract of employment with us as you do not, or that it will lead to a contract of employment, as it will not.
They:
• may receive reasonable expenses, such as travel or lunch
• may be entitled to certain benefits that volunteers are not, such as accommodation
• will have some form of contract
• are entitled to the same rest breaks and holiday as workers and employees under the Working Time Regulations 1998 (though the holiday is effectively unpaid, since they don’t receive payment for their work)
• receive protection under the Equality Act 2010.
