Volunteer service
We need good people.
We need good people to help us achieve our vision and provide the support our Companions need. We have both local employed staff and live-in volunteers and gap year students supporting us.
If you'd like to get involved and explore options for working with us in adult social care, we'd love to hear from you.

What the placement involves
We offer one-year placements in a variety of community and social enterprise settings — life-sharing and supporting adults with learning difficulties. Co-workers especially support the Camphill co-housing initiative, which requires an interest and enthusiasm for community building.
Participation in co-housing encompasses citizenship opportunities — becoming part of working groups responsible for the care and management of the community, including preparing and contributing to festivals. We welcome those with artistic, musical, and dramatic gifts.
You'll complete the national Care Certificate and be further supported in our programmes of Preparation for Life and Reflection on Life.

Food & living costs
All meals and living costs covered throughout your placement.
