Volunteer to make a difference with VoiceAbility 

VoiceAbility supports people to have their say in decisions about their health, care and wellbeing.  

Could you give a few hours a week to help people speak up and be heard? We welcome applications from people who have lived experience and from anyone looking to make a positive difference.

We're recruiting for the following voluntary positions in Wiltshire

Relevant Person’s Representative (RPR) Support Volunteers

Do you have the patience and understanding to chat with people in care homes about their experiences there? Could you help improve the life of someone in a care home by listening to their feelings, thoughts and wishes?

You could help support people who have no-one else.

This role is ideal for social worker students, those interested in the care sector and/or dementia care.

Why volunteer? 

Volunteering with VoiceAbility is ideal for people who have or want experience in human rights, health, care and wellbeing - but we care more about your values and empathy than your level of experience. 

Volunteer, Ben’s priorities changed after a serious illness. “I wanted to give something back. It’s really rewarding as you get to use your knowledge and skills for a really good purpose.”  

You’ll develop skills in communication and confidentiality, add experience and knowledge to your CV, and know you’re making a genuine difference to people’s lives. 

As a volunteer you’ll receive full training, support from the volunteer team and your local advocates, and paid expenses.
