Two of the most fulfilling volunteer roles the Legion has to
offer are as Caseworkers and Hospital Visitors. Helping us to
deliver our Poppy Support services to those who have served in the
Armed Forces, and their families, Volunteer Caseworkers and
Visitors are the face of the Legion.
You do not need any previous experience to be a volunteer
Caseworker or Visitor, but previous knowledge, training or even an
interest in a health, social services or a welfare field can be a
real advantage.
All volunteers are offered free training and out-of-pocket
expenses. Caseworkers and Visitors are subject to screening, as
they are in contact with vulnerable people
Volunteer Caseworks work closely with the local County Offices
and are active in the local community the whole year round. Their
role is to assist those with welfare needs by:
- Establishing contact with the person in need;
- Carrying out visits;
- Gathering evidence and completing documentation; and
- Sending a report and relevant documentation to the local Legion
County Office as soon as possible.
