Support Volunteer, Bournemouth

Pause Cat Cafe offers volunteer placements for people who have disabilities, learning difficulties and mental illness. Volunteers find that working at Pause gives them purpose, a way to get out and feel productive, and they are able to learn useful skills that can help them in their daily lives but also improve their opportunities to get jobs.

Some of our volunteers would benefit from more one-to-one guidance to help them push themselves further and learn new skills so they feel even more proud of their achievements and end their shift with an even bigger smile.

We are looking for a lovely, patient, kind person to help support our volunteers on their shifts. Your role is first to learn the task and then to verbally guide and show the volunteer the task and to encourage them to try new things.

Please be aware this position is for a volunteer to support those with additional needs. If you have additional needs and would like to volunteer, please email us at

We are a disability confident employer and are proud to welcome a team with a variety of ages, genders and orientations.
