Find out about volunteering with Jewish Care Scotland.
Social Care Agency volunteers
The Social Care Agency is at the heart of Jewish Care Scotland. Last year 16 new volunteers joined taking the total number of volunteers to nearly 100 - contributing a fantastic 22,000 hours in total each year!
Volunteers are very much part of the Jewish Care Scotland extended family and there are a wide range of opportunities for volunteering
Volunteering can be challenging and stimulating often bringing new friendships and a high degree of satisfaction. Volunteers support our social work team by taking on one to one work with individuals.
Our volunteers currently contribute to 17 sub groups supporting the clubs and organising bowling, arts and crafts, discussions and magazine writing. Volunteers help with baking, bus escort and reception duties. Volunteers provide specialist medication, bridge and music and movement activities.
Our volunteers "run" an annual fundraising sponsored walk and help throughout the year with all sorts of activities and fundraising.
We aim for our volunteers to integrate volunteering into their lives so they can continue with other interests, employment and commitments and find the right balance that suits their needs and the requirements of Jewish Care Scotland.
In Jewish Care Scotland volunteers and staff work together in partnership to offer, every day, a truly unique social care service to people in our community, in our day centre and in our clubs.
Volunteers support a wide range of activities and donate a terrific array of time, skills and effort, that really helps Jewish Care Scotland create a dynamic and caring environment for those who seek our support.
We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities and offer training to equip our volunteers to understand our approach and to recognise individual needs in times of distress and vulnerability.
