Volunteer With Us
HMSC relies on a team of fantastic volunteers. Roles are varied: from doing casework in our office to preparing lunch in our community kitchen, we hope that everyone can be involved. We particularly encourage applications from people who have lived experience in the issues that we work on!
Note that volunteers are not paid, but your transport cost will be reimbursed, and lunch is provided or reimbursed.
If you want to volunteer, read the role descriptions below and click APPLY. If the role is not open for recruitment, we will add your name to a waiting list and we might get in touch later. We ask a minimum commitment of 6 months for all the roles.
