We have over 40 amazing volunteers who support CLEAR as teachers, Learning Support Assistants, advisors, and administrators—and we rely on them every day.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please sign up for one of our 30-minute online information sessions. We’ll explain what we do, how you can get involved, and answer any questions. New dates will be posted on Eventbrite via the link.

You can also complete our short Expression of Interest form, and we’ll get in touch to arrange an initial chat and learn more about you.

If you’re ready to apply, please complete our application form (link below). It takes about 15–20 minutes and asks for details such as emergency contacts, your availability, address history (for some roles), and two personal referees. Once submitted, our team will review it and aim to respond within 7 days.

If you join us, you’ll receive induction training, regular updates, check-ins with our Volunteer & Engagement Lead, and opportunities for your contribution to be recognised. All volunteers must be 18+, and some roles require a basic DBS check.

Volunteering can boost your wellbeing, let you support a cause you care about, broaden your perspective, enhance your career prospects—and it’s fun!

We offer a range of roles, and are currently looking for volunteers to support ESOL teaching, Fundraising, and our Advice team.

Many people don’t realise how much they have to offer. Try our mini skills and qualities audit to see the strengths you could share.

We’re always excited to meet new volunteers. If you’d like to get involved in any way, simply complete the Expression of Interest form (or join an information session) and we’ll be in touch.

  • “Volunteering for CLEAR reshaped my priorities. It’s rewarding to support refugees as they build new lives. CLEAR inspired my career path—thank you.” — Beth, ESOL Volunteer
  • “I love volunteering at the drop-in. It gives me purpose, community, and a meaningful rhythm to my week.” — Ruth, Advice Drop-In Volunteer
