Volunteer volunteer roles in Milton keynes

Volunteer Animal Fosterer

RSPCA North West London and South Hertfordshire Branch

Could you give an animal a safe place to stay while they wait for their forever home?

Opening your home to a foster animal can transform their life. By temporarily caring for a cat, rabbit, guinea pig or other small animal, you will give them the security, attention and affection they need while they prepare for adoption.

Some animals simply need a comfortable temporary home. Others may need help building their confidence, recovering from treatment or becoming accustomed to family life. Whatever their circumstances, the care you provide will support their wellbeing, improve their socialisation and help us understand the type of permanent home in which they will thrive.

You will not be doing this alone. Our team will guide you through the fostering process and provide training, ongoing support, equipment, food and veterinary care. We can also reimburse other expenses agreed with us in advance.

What you will be doing

While an animal is in your care, you will:

• Provide suitable accommodation and a safe, comfortable environment in accordance with our guidance.

• Feed, provide fresh water and groom the animal as advised.

• Spend time helping them feel safe, settled and loved.

• Observe their behaviour and wellbeing, keeping in touch with our animal welfare team.

• Give any agreed medication or support their rehabilitation, where appropriate.

• Transport them to routine or emergency veterinary appointments when required.

• Help us promote the animal and share what you have learnt about their personality, so we can find the right permanent home for them.

• Provide plenty of appropriate play, enrichment and, when they are ready, cuddles!

Who we are looking for

This role may be right for you if:

• You are aged 18 or over and have good experience of caring for animals.

• Everyone in your household is comfortable with welcoming a foster animal into your home.

• You have the time, patience and commitment to care for an animal whose needs may change.

• You live within the area covered by our Branch, as shown on the accompanying map.

• You can collect supplies from our Eastcote office and transport your foster animal to veterinary appointments, including urgent appointments when necessary.

• Any animals already living in your home have been spayed or neutered. We understand that this may not always be possible for medical reasons, so please talk to us if this applies to you.

Previous fostering experience is helpful but not essential. We will provide the training and support you need.

What you will gain

As a volunteer fosterer, you will:

• Make a direct and lasting difference to animals who need a safe place to recover, grow in confidence or prepare for adoption.

• Experience the satisfaction of helping an animal take the next step towards a loving permanent home.

• Receive a comprehensive induction and fostering training.

• Develop new knowledge and practical animal-care skills.

• Become part of a friendly community of staff and volunteers.

• Gain valuable volunteering experience that you can include on your CV.

Finding the right match

Every animal is different. Some may be ready for adoption, while others might need rehabilitation, medication or additional time and patience.

We will take the time to understand your home, experience, availability and preferences. This will help us match you with a foster animal whose needs suit your circumstances. You can discuss each potential placement with us before deciding whether it is right for you.

Interested?

We would love to hear from you if you could offer an animal a safe and caring temporary home.

All our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and an initial trial period. We will ask you to provide details of two referees. Depending on the role and the animals you will foster, you may also need to complete specific training and sign a volunteer agreement before you begin.

Do you want to see more happiness and kindness in the world? We’re looking for dynamic Volunteers to be part of creating exactly that!

About the Role:

Our volunteers bring people together for shared online learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the wellbeing of everyone involved.

Our groups and courses can be run online or in-person in your local area.

- The amazing 6-week Happiness Habits Course is designed to be run by pairs of volunteers.  It features expert videos, science-backed exercises and the chance to form meaningful connections. Our course has been specially designed to gather the insights of the world's leading experts on six fundamental aspects of a happy and meaningful life: Gratitude, Self-Care, Relationships, Resilience, Kindness, and Meaning. It is a very impactful (many say life-changing) experience.

- Alternatively, you can get involved by supporting a Monthly Group, bringing like-minded people together to learn evidence-based tools for creating a happier and more meaningful life. Explore the monthly themes and encourage people to set personal actions towards happiness, that support both themselves and others.

Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world. You don’t have to be an expert - or be happy all the time. If you are a warm and enthusiastic person that is more than enough to get started.

Why Volunteer with Us?

Do something that matters: spreading happiness and witnessing people transform for the better is a huge source of meaning.

Grow your skills: inspiring others, learning together and reinforcing your own happiness skills all contribute to personal growth.

Build community: meeting like-minded people, building lasting friendships and belonging to a global community contributing to a better future for all.

How do I know it’s right for me?

Try out free VOLUNTEER TRAINING via the Action For Happiness website and decide for yourself.

We've designed it especially to help you answer questions like this as it explains thoroughly what being a volunteer involves and helps you reflect on your readiness.

What is the time commitment?

You'll need to set aside a couple of hours for the training initially and a few more for planning your course or group and connecting with your co-volunteer. Then you'll need a couple of hours per session for facilitating (x6 weekly sessions for a course, or x1 session per month for a group). 

- Apply today! Together, we can inspire change that ripples out through people’s lives, communities and the world.
 

Would you like to help tackle loneliness, one conversation at a time?

Loneliness and isolation can have devastating effects on a person’s mental and physical health. We are a registered charity providing a pathway of support to alleviate the hurt and distress, and the impact on mental and physical health, caused by loneliness and social isolation. 

The aim of face-to-face Individual Support is to provide in-person supportive social contact for people who are hurt by loneliness.

Volunteers support Friends (people who use our services) on a one-to-one basis. After completing training, volunteers will be linked with a Friend who they will phone for around one hour every two weeks. This is arranged at a mutually convenient time. 

We ask volunteers to think of this as a longer term volunteer role due to the training and time we take in order to give our volunteers, and Friends, the very best service. You will also need to consider occasional time spent in training for your role and for continuous development. 

For all our roles:

Due to our Safeguarding regulations, unfortunately we are only able to accept applications from UK residents. 

Enhanced DBS checks for working with vulnerable adults (formerly called criminal records bureau checks)  which we will organise (no cost to this) and two references are required.

For any roles involving driving Archway Friends, we will need to see evidence of insurance and driving license as well as MOT and tax documents for the vehicle to be used.

We will happily cover out of pocket expenses (eg mileage or costs for coffee out with Archway Friend).

We provide training relevant to the roles as well as ongoing supervision, guidance and support for all volunteers.

• Maintaining a consistent visual identity, tone and message

• Following safeguarding, confidentiality, copyright and consent requirements

• Updating the shared task tracker and submitting a weekly activity log

This is a fully remote role requiring approximately 5–7 hours per week. Attendance at online onboarding, weekly meetings and relevant training is required.

As our team is small and we are working to grow the organisation, reliability is essential. We need someone who communicates their availability clearly, plans ahead, gives reasonable notice of delays or absences, and follows through on agreed responsibilities.

The role would suit someone with experience in social media, content writing or basic graphic design who wants to take the lead on a meaningful communications project and help an emerging organisation strengthen its public presence.
