Parents pushing buggies across the road in a walking group

We're the charity that supports people as they become parents. Local NCT groups and activities are an essential part of what we do and help parents feel confident connected and safe.

As a Community Volunteer you will play an important role in creating a welcoming and inclusive community for parents.

In this flexible role, you will lead one of our easy to set up regular events such as Bumps & Babies or Walk & Talk, or help organise one of our well-known NCT Nearly New Sales.

  • Promoting NCT’s values and vision in your local community

Our Community Volunteers are:

  • Passionate about supporting parents
  • Motivated and reliable
  • Able to plan and organise a one-off event or regular group
  • Welcoming to all parents, and a good listener

Time commitment

  • This is a flexible role that can fit around your commitments and availability
  • The time you will spend volunteering will vary depending on the type and frequency of the activity you choose to run. You could volunteer with as little as 2 hours per month.
  • We’re ideally looking for Community Volunteer who can volunteer for at least 3 months
