At Erskine, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make a difference. Whether you're looking to volunteer regularly or just lend a hand now and then, we’ve got opportunities to suit all interests and availability. However you choose to help, you’ll be part of something special.

Opportunities available:

  • You can support our care homes by spending time with residents, providing companionship, or helping out as a volunteer driver (PVG required).

  • Corporate teams are also welcome! Bring your colleagues along for a rewarding day at our sites in Bishopton, Edinburgh or Forres. Put your skills to great use while giving back.

  • Or why not help out our fundraising team? Help with bucket collections, events and community fundraising activities.

Corporate volunteering opportunities

Volunteering can enhance your life and personal development. If you are working towards an award such as the new Saltire Award, Duke of Edinburgh or Queens Badge we are happy to support you.

Volunteer for Erskine and you can:
  • Gain new experiences and learn new skills - as well as making use of your existing skills.
  • Build confidence and self esteem - when you try something new and meet new people.
  • Be valued, appreciated and useful - and feel a real sense of achievement
  • Do something of special or personal interest - while you make a real difference in the community
  • Engage with your team and help them build their skills. Staff volunteering is a great way to create team and relationship building whilst promoting your company as a caring organisation.
Volunteers add value to Erskine’s work by supplementing the work of our staff. You can enrich the lives of the people we support by bringing:
  • Specialist skills and knowledge
  • New ideas and enthusiasm
  • The ability to focus on achieving a particular outcome for someone we support
  • Immediate access to the wide community
