It volunteer roles

Naomi House & Jacksplace provide essential care and support to children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions across the south of England. For over 25 years, we’ve been there for families on the good days, difficult days, and last days— helping to make the most of every precious moment together.

As we embark on an exciting period of growth and investment—refurbishing our hospices, expanding our services, and strengthening our position as a regional centre of excellence—we are seeking a new Trustee with senior-level experience in digital and IT leadership.

It’s a chance to use your knowledge to give back, to play a meaningful part in the next chapter of our much-loved charity, and to help us deliver outstanding care by shaping our digital transformation. You’ll work alongside fellow Trustees and a passionate leadership team to support the continued improvement of our systems—covering areas such as data governance, CRM, patient records, finance, and information systems.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who:

• Have held a senior digital, data or technology leadership role in a large, complex organisation (commercial, public sector or charity)
• Can offer strategic insight into digital change or transformation
• Are excited by the opportunity to bring their experience to a heartfelt cause
• Are new or experienced in Trustee or NED roles—this could be your first

You don’t need to be a digital health expert or know the hospice world inside out—what matters most is your compassion, integrity, and willingness to support our work with care and professionalism. If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back and make a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Why join us now?
We were recently rated Outstanding by the CQC and are investing significantly across our buildings, services, brand, and digital infrastructure ahead of our 30th anniversary in 2027. With a clear strategy, a committed team, and a powerful mission, this is a unique time to contribute.

Practical details:
Trustees attend 6 Board meetings per year (in person, in Sutton Scotney) and 4 Committee meetings remotely. Additional time may be required to contribute to working groups or strategic initiatives. The role is unremunerated but reasonable expenses will be paid.

How to Apply
If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit an initial application/expression of interest. Shortlisted candidates will be provided with a full Candidate Information Pack and invited to submit a cover letter outlining their interest in the role and a brief summary of how they meet the key criteria

Could you support SSAFA volunteers in your area with the I.T they need to support our clients? You don’t need a military background, just some basic I.T skills, patience, and the ability to get on with a wide range of people. If you have training experience, that would be great but not essential. Get in touch to find out more.

What is an I.T Coordinator?

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas. Each one has an I.T Coordinator to support all volunteers to make the most of the internet-based systems we use in our work with clients. This is a key role involving supporting people of all ages sharing skills.

Why do we need you?

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

We use internet-based systems to offer the best possible service to our clients and SSAFA volunteers. Some of our volunteers already have I.T skills while some do not. Could you be a friendly face to help volunteers with their computing questions?

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

A key aspect to this role will be supporting volunteers by running workshops, drop-ins or supporting individual volunteers by phone or at their homes.

The role would suit someone looking to offer a regular commitment to the branch, but days and times could vary to suit you.

What would you be doing?

• Being a positive ambassador for SSAFA remembering that anyone you meet could be a potential client, volunteer or fundraiser.
• Volunteering within the standards and values of SSAFA including observing our policies such as the Volunteering policy and data protection policy (these will be covered in your training and local induction.)

The remit of this role may change over the next 12-18 months depending on the outcome of a trial currently being undertaken.

What can you gain from this volunteering role?

• Gain experience of holding a key local role with oversight of all SSAFA activity in the local area
• Use your skills, knowledge, and experience to benefit others.
• Appreciate that your role has a positive impact on the quality of service we can provide to clients as well as providing development opportunities for our volunteers.
• Support and friendship from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
• Experience, training and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews.
• Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!

What training and support would you receive?

• Mandatory on-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
• Access to a range of e-learning courses
• Support from your local branch secretary.

• Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
