Volunteer

Volunteer with Us 

At Hartford Care we are looking for volunteers who can make a positive difference to the lives of our residents.      

If you have a skill, hobby or interest that you would like to share, or perhaps you would like to get involved in other ways, we would love to hear from you! 

Hours and days can be flexible to suit your availability, it’s your contribution that makes you special.

Some of the things that our residents would value include: 

• Spend time with residents whose families sometimes struggle to get in for a visit 
• Help out in our gardens or in our lifestyle kitchens 
• Drive a minibus or get involved with outdoor activities 
• Run an art and crafts workshop 
• Bake or cook with the residents 
• Start up a book or knitting club
• Play cards or board games, write a quiz or even call the bingo numbers 
• Support events and special days  

This may not be all one way, you might be considering a career in health and social care or wanting to discover if this could be a career path for you. Volunteering will give you first-hand experience and insight into the variety of roles in care and what they involve. 

Our application process is simple, so no need to worry about care qualifications or previous experience: 

• Reach out to People & Culture Team on 01256 383370
• Complete an application form 
• Carry out a free enhanced DBS check (if you’re over aged 16 years) 
• Invite you in for an induction to get to know our home and residents.
