Full-time Volunteers

Have you ever wanted to live and volunteer in Ireland?

Or are you Irish and just want to do something different and rewarding?

Then maybe you might like to apply for our Full-time Volunteer programme. Every year we take on three people who are willing to give up to a year to volunteer with our Elderly friends in Dublin City.

You would engage directly with elderly people, under the supervision of our co-ordinator, helping us to assess their needs and coordinating other volunteers within our befriending programme for older people. You role would also involve helping to organize outings, holidays, parties, theatre visits and other activities. You would also help out on occasion in our retail shop "Ritzy Rags". There are general house duties for our centre, computer tasks and many other things that can be done from day to day.

We will provide you with a flat for you and the two other full time volunteers, at our premises, right in the middle of the city centre. As you would be living in the city centre there are many places of interest only a brief walk away. All amenities are provided free including rent, light, heat, and water. We pay you a stipend to cover food expenses but we also return all other expenses that are directly incurred by you to support our elderly friends.  

This is the basic overview of the Full-time Volunteer brief:

We ask any potential Full-time Volunteer to be available to stay from up to one year. This allows enough time for the elderly, and you to build good friendships. The positions arise at different times during the year and we take new applicants on an ongoing basis. There is no closing date for any applications and we assess all successfully completed applications received as they arrive. We will try to assess your application to your needs as closely as we can.

If you would be interested in applying for one of the Full-time Voluntary positions, all applications are now taken on-line. You will need to fill in our on-line form and as well, be able to send to us your current Curriculum Vitae including any applicable references.

We will then contact you and advise you when any vacancies arise.

 We are looking forward to hearing from you!
