What we're looking for

For most volunteering opportunities at the Camden Society, you don't need to have any previous experience. We ask that you are enthusiastic, positive, patient and respectful. Most of all we need you to be willing to support people with disabilities to learn new skills and develop new relationships in the ways they choose and at a pace they feel comfortable with. You will get full training and support to feel confident in your role and enjoy your time with us.

To become a volunteer you will need to have an informal interview, complete a CRB check and provide two references.
