Volunteering
Volunteers have always been at the heart of CHAT and are a vital part of the team.
​
Whether you are looking to gain experience before going off to university or starting a new job, looking for a new challenge or wanting to be part of a friendly team that makes a difference in the local community we would love to hear from you. Some of the roles need a regular commitment, and others are on a casual basis – we can provide training and will support you all the way!

What's Involved
This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in an engaging and decision-making role in a local charity.
The charity is governed by a Board of Non-Executive Trustees who meet on a regular basis to provide strategic direction, over-site, and governance of the work of the charity. Please get in touch for an informal discussion via the volunteer now button below.
​CHAT will provide full training for the role, induction as well as ongoing support. In return you will be contributing to a great cause, putting your skills to use and have the opportunity to learn new things.
CHAT is pleased to have achieved the Investing in Volunteers (IiV) quality standard for good practice in volunteer management.
CHAT is committed to valuing diversity and promoting equality. Our policy is to strive to ensure that no applicant, employee or volunteer receives less favourable treatment than another on grounds of age, disability, ethnic origin, marital or parental status, political belief, religion, gender or sexual orientation. We encourage applications from those with lived experience.
​
We are committed to using a safer recruitment process and the Disclosure & Barring Service to ensure we, as an employer, safeguard those we serve.

“Volunteers bring so much to the work of CHAT – not least their unique skills and experiences which contribute to this diverse team. I love working alongside this great group of people who are united by their desire to help their local community – it can be hard work but it is also very rewarding. Take a look at the Role Descriptions and if volunteering with CHAT sounds like something that might be a good fit for you, why not get in touch and we can then we can take it from there!”
