Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference? Our retirement communities offer opportunities to gain experience, develop new skills and bring joy to residents’ lives.
You could help with gardening, maintenance, kitchen support or get involved in social activities like arts and crafts, games or music sessions. Whatever you choose, the rewards are priceless: personal growth, new friendships and the chance to make every day brighter for someone else.
Be Your Best – complete our expression of interest forms below and our Volunteer Engagement Team will be in touch.
Currently, our volunteering and work experience opportunities are available in Telford, Scarborough and Cheltenham. We’ll review this early next year, with plans to expand to more locations in the future.
Work experience opportunities
Thinking about a career in care and support, or just want to explore something new? Our work experience placements in retirement communities are a great way to learn, gain practical skills and build your CV.
Perfect for students, recent graduates or anyone considering a career change, these unpaid placements usually take place during holidays or as part of courses like Health and Social Care. You’ll work alongside our teams, see how we make a difference every day and discover if this path is right for you.
Volunteering opportunities
