Remote Support Volunteering

Home-Start Cambridgeshire is a voluntary organisation in which volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help to families, with at least one child under the age of 5, who are going through a difficult time. 

No special qualifications are necessary to become a remote support volunteer, but volunteers usually have an interest in, and experience of, young children and family life. They understand that sometimes family life can be tough and that is why a Volunteer’s support can be so valuable in helping another family. They will provide support via remote connection with parents. Support can be delivered via weekly video or voice calls.

Volunteers are central to the Home-Start service; we could not offer families the same support without them.

Home-Start volunteers give a high level of commitment and reliability and in return receive high quality preparation and ongoing training, supervision and support.

Home-Start Cambridgeshire is committed to safer recruitment practise as an important part of safeguarding and protecting children and vulnerable adults. Any offer of a voluntary role is subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
