Volunteers
Will you join our ever-growing team of volunteers? All you need is enthusiasm and a desire to help.
Putting your skills to good use, meeting new people and knowing you’re making a huge difference in someone's day. Three great reasons to start volunteering at CLC
Our volunteers are important members of the CLC Team, helping us create happy and fun homes for our residents. They do a range of interesting and rewarding roles, so we’re sure to have something to suit your interests and flexible enough to fit with the time you want to give.
Whatever your preconceptions about life in a care home, leave them at the door. We like nothing better than to have fun and celebrate life and the invitation to join us is open.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a keen baker, crafter, gardener, musician, or someone who just likes sitting quietly with a friend for a chat over a cuppa. These are all things our residents love doing too – why not enjoy them together?
