Volunteer
Walk with us
Rachel House runs on the time people give it. There is a role here whether you have a nursing degree, a spare Saturday or a laptop and good Bahasa.
Why volunteer?
Because a small team cannot do this alone.
Our nurses spend their days in people’s homes. Everything that keeps that possible — supplies packed, events run, grants written, stories told — is often done by volunteers.
You will not be making coffee. Volunteers at Rachel House take on real work with real deadlines, because that is what the organisation actually needs. In return you get proper induction, a named contact, and an honest account of what your hours changed.

Volunteer FAQ
Questions people ask before applying.
No. Many roles — events, administration, translation, design, fundraising — need no clinical training at all. Roles involving direct contact with children and families do require relevant qualifications and a screening process.
It depends on the role. Some volunteers help at a single event; others commit to a regular day each week. Tell us your availability in the form and we will match you to something realistic.
Yes, for remote roles such as translation, research, grant writing and design. [Replace with the current policy on international volunteers.]
Only if your role requires it and you have completed our safeguarding process. We protect our patients’ privacy and their homes carefully.
Yes. Every volunteer receives an induction covering our mission, confidentiality, safeguarding and the basics of palliative care.
