Job Description

Do you believe that no one in Newport should have to call the streets 'their home' and that everyone deserves the right to a safe, secure, and settled home?

If yes, we are the opportunity for you!

Homelife - Citadel Newport is a community-based, volunteer-led support service, designed to help end homelessness and make a real difference to the lives of those who need it most.

Our volunteers help individuals both emotionally and practically in making the move to safe and secure housing. This can include finding and settling into a new home, setting up utilities and bills, sourcing furniture and decorating. Volunteers also help individuals to connect and engage with relevant support providers and networks to help ensure new tenancies are a success.

Our support can be as simple as having a coffee, providing a listening ear, and letting an individual know that someone cares. Our volunteers also bring us ideas, and experiences to shape how we make a difference.

We are currently recruiting local volunteers and sponsors and want to reach out to all sectors of the community. Is there something you can do to help and be part of a solution?

We offer a variety of opportunities to get involved, from 1:1 volunteer support work, fundraising and collecting donations to helping arrange activities and events for those accessing our services or volunteering

Volunteers are offered a full induction, interesting training, ongoing supervision, and a chance to make a real difference in the community whilst meeting likeminded, caring people.

All we ask is that you can volunteer an hour or more a week, for up to 6 months, and that you take part in our induction, training, and support. We will arrange a DBS and you are entitled to expenses and reasonable travel costs. We will also organise activities and events for volunteers.
