why volunteer with us?

We get that many Armed Forces spouses and partners want to feel more than just a homemaker or caregriver. 

It can get lonely when you are shouldered with household and parental responsibilities, without family or friends close by. It can feel like your whole world stops.  

Volunteering can give you back a sense of belonging and value, working with a friendly team who will help you find a position that’s right for you.

You may be wondering…

  • We’ll help you find a position that suits you and give you opportunities to learn, upskill and grow. Our ethos is to provide you with skills you can take with you, wherever the next posting might be.

  • We understand that Armed Forces life can be far from straightforward, and unexpected family responsibilities may come up. Our positions are flexible and designed with the ups and downs of Armed Forces spouse and partner life in mind.

  • Yes. Our employees usually start off as volunteers, and use their time to discover the parts of the role they love. So they can pick an employee's position that suits them best, when one arises. You can scroll down to see our current job opportunities.

“You get the opportunity to work to your strengths. They listened to what I needed from them. My knowledge and experience was valued and trusted.” - Molly

We believe Armed Forces spouses and partners can achieve amazing things, yet finding employment is challenging due to the need to be flexible. 

By working with others within the Catterick estate, you’ll find a job that fits your lifestyle, working alongside people who can relate to your daily challenges.

“ When I took the job on, it opened my world to other people in the community, we’re all helping each other out. For years I was just Freddie's mum and I felt invisible. I love being more than just ‘mum’, I never thought I’d get a job again ”
