About this opportunity

Nursing Support Volunteers will assist our CHAS at Home team in families own homes. You will work closely with the staff providing an ‘extra pair of hands’ as well as providing high quality care to children and young people.

By volunteering with the CHAS at Home team you will be helping CHAS provide the highest quality care and support for children and families.

“The service that you offer at home - it is just so much more than respite. For us it feels like an extension of our family coming into help and bringing joy and fun into our lives. The CHAS at Home team are a very special and unique group of individuals that I have never found elsewhere, nothing is too much trouble and they don't see challenges only possibilities. Truly amazing!”
(Quote from a CHAS family member)
