ELITE Supported Employment

Volunteering for ELITE

Do you have any spare time? Would you like to help others gain employment opportunities and become independent? Are you looking to develop your own skills, or even thinking about looking for a job?

At ELITE we value the positive effect our volunteers have on the lives of others. You will be made to feel welcome and a vital part of our team. While volunteering with ELITE you will learn new skills, meet different kinds of people and build a real sense of achievement.

Whatever your reason for volunteering, and however much time you can offer, we can develop a volunteering plan tailored for you.

"Volunteering is my solid ground. I have reason to anchor and use the skills I already have, along with learning new ones. A smile goes a long way."
