All volunteer roles at Pain Concern are subject to our Volunteering Agreement. 

Can I volunteer if I have used Pain Concern services before? 

You can volunteer if you have used our services before. At Pain Concern we value if you have experienced chronic pain yourself or through someone you care about. We think it can give you some insight although it is not a requirement.  

Can I volunteer from home? 

We encourage flexibility and all our roles can be carried out from home. Many of our roles you can volunteer at a time that works best for you. 

Can I claim expenses? 

Yes, you will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses such as travel. More details on this, once you start volunteering. 

Can I volunteer with Pain Concern if I have a criminal record? 

We actively promote equality of opportunity for all and welcome applications from a wide range of applicants. Pain Concern is committed to safeguarding those that use our services, which includes references checks. However, for volunteers in the Helpline it is regulated work so we require a successful PVG check.
