Volunteer volunteer roles
Could you coordinate local SSAFA services in your area? You don’t need a military background, just basic I.T and admin skills, the ability to get on with people and good written and spoken English. If so, we’d love to hear from you.
What is a Branch Secretary?
There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas. These are divided into local areas that we call divisions. Each branch has a secretary to organise day-to-day activities. This is a key role involving administration and coordinating people. As the first point of contact for SSAFA in the area you will play a crucial part in promoting SSAFA locally, organising local events and ensuring the smooth running of SSAFA across the divisions in your branch.
Why do we need you?
We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan.
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.
In recognition of our clients’ service to the Nation we aim to provide financial, practical and emotional support when it’s needed most. To do this we need local branches and volunteers who can match clients to volunteers and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
When would you be needed and where would you be based?
This role is about coordination and administration. As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but many volunteers are based at home. The role would suit someone looking to offer a regular time commitment each week. You would also need to organise and attend a number of regular meetings each year.
What would you be doing?
· Managing the branch office (if applicable) and providing support to all volunteers, especially new ones
· Work with the branch Chairperson, treasurer, and others to ensure smooth running of the branch.
· Accepting referrals and coordinating SSAFA caseworkers, visitors, and helpers accordingly
· Oversee all SSAFA casework across the branch ensuring clients get support that is effective and timely.
· Monitor volunteer numbers against the demand for support and recruit new volunteers as needed
· Working with the local training officer to ensure all volunteers are kept up to date with the training and information they need.
· Build relationships with regional and central office staff to ensure an effective flow of information.
· Maintaining accurate records of volunteers and cases, submit accurate data to Central Office
· Providing administration for an annual programme of meetings including an AGM, recording, and implementing decisions
· 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 could 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 life experience to benefit others.
· Support 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?
· Role specific training to prepare you for your voluntary role - confidentiality and boundaries, personal safety, caseworker training, caseworker IT system training, volunteer management – attracting, recruiting, and inducting volunteers, volunteer management – case management and quality. This training would take approx. 4 days.
· 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 as well as local opportunities to keep your training up to date.
· Support from the Chair of the branch
· Access to the Welfare Team and Volunteer Support Team based at our central office.
· Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
· Volunteers will be covered by SSAFAs Public Liability Insurance whilst carrying out the role.
What are we looking for?
· Friendly and approachable people of any age (18+) with some experience of coordinating people and admin
· Good written and spoken English.
· Ability to be respectful and non-judgemental with clients, their family, other agencies and SSAFA colleagues.
· Ability to send and receive emails – you will receive your own SSAFA email address.
· Ability to coordinate a team of people volunteering.
· Willingness to use our on-line case management system (this is covered in the training course)
· Ability to keep within boundaries of the role with regards to reporting any safety concerns etc
· Reliable attitude, contact clients and volunteers promptly, keep appointments etc.
· Ability to maintain confidentiality and keep information safely.
· Access to public transport or a car to travel to meetings, events etc.
We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, abilities, races, sexual orientations, socio-economic backgrounds, and of all faiths and none. SSAFA are committed to making reasonable adjustments to support volunteers with disabilities, so they have access to the same opportunities and experiences as volunteers who do not.
Minimum Age: 18
Safer Recruitment: SSAFA undertakes a systematic approach and utmost care at every step of the process of volunteer recruitment, selection, and retention to ensure that those recruited are suitable and appropriate. Measures taken at points along this journey work together to make volunteering at SSAFA a positive and safe experience.

We are in the early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a visionary CEO (Volunteer) who can lead REMIX through its start‑up phase and into a thriving, sustainable future.
The Role
We are seeking a passionate, entrepreneurial, and people‑centred Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (Volunteer) to drive REMIX forward with clarity, ambition, and heart.

This is a hands‑on, collaborative role for someone who thrives in early‑stage environments, enjoys building from the ground up, and believes deeply in youth empowerment and social mobility.
Time commitment: Flexible but beneficial if around 5–10 hours per week, including:
-
Bi‑monthly Board meetings
-
Working groups and leadership sessions
-
CEO (Volunteer) duties, planning, partnership‑building, and organisational development
Key Responsibilities
As CEO (Volunteer), you will:
-

This role blends leadership, creativity, operational oversight, and community engagement — perfect for someone who enjoys variety and impact.

You don’t need previous CEO experience — we welcome people stepping into senior leadership for the first time. What matters most is your passion, your drive, and your ability to lead with purpose.
We’re looking for someone who is:
-
Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

Equally comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

- Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
- Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy

Time expectation
Our transport volunteers usually spend two to four hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
You may be just the volunteer we’ve been looking for!
We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats’ eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Our admin and reception volunteers are the backbone of our service - without them we couldn't run.
Based at our office in Ponders End (EN3) our volunteers welcome all clients and other visitors, updating them on any waiting times and getting preparatory forms completed. They manage incoming and outgoing post and send out appointment reminders. One of their crucial roles is to support advisers and the staff team with client registration, photocopying and scanning documents and updating internal spreadsheets and databases as required. To help keep the office running smoothly volunteers also restock stationery and ensure posters and display information is up-to-date. They follow up on letters sent to clients and monitor our client mailbox - recording actions taken, setting reminders and tasks.
So, you see, we really can't do without them.
Being an admin and reception volunteer you would gain experience of an office environment and build on skills such as communication, admin, IT and working within a team. This in turn would increase employability. However, we do welcome volunteers of all ages - some of our longest serving volunteers are retired and make a terrific contribution to our service.
You will need to:
- be friendly and approachable
- respect views, values and cultures that are different to your own
- have good IT skills
- be willing to learn about and follow the Citizens Advice aims, principles and policies, including confidentiality and data protection
- be willing to undertake training
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!

Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
From elderly moggies to energic kittens, every day across the UK cats and kittens are in need of a temporary place to stay, and lots of love and TLC! We need more fosterers like you to provide a safe, temporary haven for cats and kittens and provide them with everything they need before they get their chance to land on their four paws and make a house a home.
You can expect us to
- Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
- Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
- Ensure you have all you need in place to foster the cat(s) in your care, for example equipment and food
- Cover all your foster cats’ expenses and agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
- Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
- A stable, safe and compassionate environment in your home or in a purpose-built pen in your garden provided by us
- Enrich the cats’ experience in care including play, exercise and appropriate handling/interaction
- A willingness to complete some training in order to provide high standards of cat welfare
- Introduce cats to prospective adopters so they can find their forever home
- You can find out more about being a Fosterer on our website
Time expectation
Our volunteer fosterers usually spend around one and a half hours per day (around 10 to 13 hours per week) in this role, but this might vary depending on the number of cats or kittens in care.
You may be just the volunteer we've been looking for!
We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats’ eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats. Join the UK’s leading cat welfare charity and help make a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.
