Are you passionate about connecting with parents and building a supportive community? As an NCT Community Builder, you'll be at the heart of our local volunteer team, engaging with parents to understand their needs and helping to create welcoming, inclusive events and activities that boost their wellbeing. This is a flexible, home-based role designed to fit around your availability.

What you'll be doing:

  • Talking to people in your local community to understand what support parents need.
  • Encouraging local people to get involved and volunteer to support parents.
  • Building a strong and inclusive community of parents, guided by NCT's best practices.
  • Promoting and publicising local NCT events.
  • Keeping in touch with local volunteers.
  • Using social media to engage and support local parents.
  • Celebrating the difference volunteers make to local parents.
  • Championing NCT's values and vision.

This can be a home based role but the volunteer will need to speak to people in their area and make connections with social prescribers/the local community using phone, email and social media.
