Volunteer with Us
Make A Difference
We couldn't do what we do at Creative Options without the help of our generous volunteers. As a volunteer at Creative Options, you would be able to contribute to the community, develop skills and experience in working in a mental health environment, and also develop new skills, such as cooking, arts and crafts etc.

How to Volunteer |
|
|
We are grateful for new volunteers, especially those with lived experience and/or skills in working in a mental health setting. But all that is really needed to get started with us is the ability to talk and listen to people with mental health issues.

To become a volunteer, you will need to complete an application form, which we can send to you by post, e-mail or we can give to you in person. Please get in contact to receive one. After the application is complete, we encourage potential volunteers to get stuck in straight away and thus we do not require DBS checks from you until you decide you want to continue working with us more permanently. Please note, however, that volunteers who have not been DBS checked will need to be supervised by members of staff or other volunteers who have been, and cannot be left alone with service users until they have done so. To get DBS checked requires registering online. You will need to submit a form through UCheck, and we can help you with this if need be. |
