Full training provided. Get in touch in December/January 2025 to join the late Feb- early March 2025 training or anytime to join the September 2026 training. Please note that applications received from 12 Dec to 15 Jan will be answered after 16 January.

Requirements:

Due to the nature of the volunteer work we do, there is a rigorous application process which is ...

  1. Complete application form and computer quiz. Most of the work we do involves using computers - databases, email and internet search engines.
  2. If your application is successful, we arrange a meeting (informal interview/chat) so that you can learn more about the work we do, and so we can get to know you better. At this time, you can also do an observation in a branch to see if volunteering with CAB feels right for you.
  3. Complete a police check.
  4. Attend a 5 full day training programme.
  5. After training there are at least 12 weeks of mentoring.

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

Once trained, we ask volunteers to be flexible and able to work different days of the week for at least 4 hours each week.
The Rolleston CAB service will become weekly in 2026. The Hornby CAB will be the primary location for most of the Selwyn volunteers with the option to support the Rolleston clinic a few times a month.
We expect volunteers to stay with CAB for at least two years.

Getting started:
