Volunteer with Living Well
We invite you to become part of the Living Well UK Family, bring positive change to your community, and gain valuable work experience.
Living Well aims to improve our social value and complete work that benefits the Birmingham community through improving individuals' employability, supporting community projects and strengthening community ties.
To do this, we offer volunteering opportunities that allow our volunteers to improve their employability, develop new skills and contribute to their local community.
We have a number of opportunities at Living Well UK itself, with our Consortium members and external partners. Positions range from community outreach roles, administrative support, event support and specialist advisory roles, to many others.
Wish to volunteer? Please get in touch with us by email: volunteer@livingwellconsortium.com or by telephone on 0121 663 1217 or simply click the REGISTER NOW button below.
