Why volunteer at Lifeworks?

Volunteering at Lifeworks isn’t just about giving back; it’s about making a tangible difference in people’s lives while enriching your own. We believe that every minute, hour, or day you share can create a huge impact, and our flexible roles are designed to fit your schedule.

You could be:

– Joining our young people for exciting and enriching activities – this could be anything from spending time with the group at the zoo, to helping them learn a new skill!
– Providing essential support by driving our minibus, or assisting at events.
– Contributing to our cause by supporting our fundraising.

How you can get involved

We can offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities, so there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for an active role or something more behind-the-scenes, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll gain

People volunteer for many reasons, and whatever your motivation, you’ll find the experience both challenging and deeply rewarding. When you volunteer with us, you’ll have the chance to:

– Give back to the community and positively impact the lives of young people.
– Develop new skills or build on your existing experience and knowledge.
– Meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for supporting others.
– Become an integral part of a team dedicated to helping young people live their best lives.

We have been running our services in Devon since 1996, supporting and encouraging people with learning disabilities to realise their aspirations and achieve their very best futures.

Our values run through everything that we do. We work with passion and are kind, friendly, respectful and positive, believing that everyone has the right to be happy, safe and live a fulfilled life.

Lifeworks is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people that we support and we expect all staff to share this commitment. For this post, pre-employment checks will be carried out, references will be sought, and successful candidates will need to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

We champion equality and diversity in the workplace and actively support people with disabilities to fulfil their potential. As a Disability Confident Employer, we are committed to offering an interview to disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the job and to making adjustments where needed to the application and interview process.

Please contact the HR team if you should require any support (including completing the application process using other formats) or require any further information about the role.
