Volunteer
Volunteering is vital to Raystede. We simply would not be able to continue our important work without volunteers’ support.
Volunteering can provide valuable work experience, is sociable, satisfying, fun and looks good on your CV!
So whether you can spare an afternoon once a week or one afternoon every two months, we would love to hear from you. We would also like to hear from you if you are part of a group or maybe you would like to come up and volunteer with your friend, we welcome people from all walks of life.
We provide our volunteers with uniform – which keeps your clothes cleaner, as well as tea/coffee. All our volunteers are given an on-site induction which also includes Health & Safety. We also provide all volunteers support throughout their time with us.
Currently we have a team of over 100 volunteers freely giving their spare time to cover many diverse roles at Raystede, so why not find out more by either;
- Clicking on the photos below to find out more about the roles available
- Downloading the application form below
- Sending an email to: volunteering@raystede.org
Please note that due to the rural location of our site you will need your own transport to get here and to volunteer at Raystede you need to be aged 18 or above.
