Volunteering opportunities
Home-Start volunteers are people from different backgrounds and vary in age but all have parenting experience. We have opportunities for family visiting volunteers, Charity shop volunteers and Trustee Board Volunteers. Many of our volunteers have been helped by Home-Start themselves.

Family-visiting Volunteers
All our volunteers attend an initial six week preparation course and will be reference-checked at an enhanced level through Disclosure Scotland. At the end of the course, volunteers will be introduced to a family by their co-ordinator. Volunteers will receive regular support and supervision from their co-ordinator who is always available for any issues that may arise.

Trustee Board Volunteers
Trustees make up the “Board of Trustees” and are responsible for directing the management and administration of the scheme. They have a wide range of duties and are responsible for making the charity effective, providing overall direction and maintaining the funds.
Trustees are responsible for the governance of the scheme, employing the staff and leading the strategic direction of the work. Trustees operate within a formal set of rules called the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”.
The Trustees delegate the day to day running of the scheme to the team, but the overall responsibility lies with the Trustees.
If you would be interested in becoming a Home-Start Trustee, please email office@homestartsa.org.
