Join Deafblind UK as a Social Group Admin Volunteer and help support vital social groups that connect people living with sight and hearing loss.
About the role
In this role, you’ll support the smooth running of our national social group service by helping to manage key administrative tasks. This includes setting up attendees for telephone groups, updating our CRM system (Raiser’s Edge), maintaining accurate records, and keeping important data and spreadsheets up to date. You may also contact participants to confirm attendance at face-to-face sessions, as well as send emails and text messages to keep people informed.

What you’ll gain
You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team, with the chance to develop valuable admin and data management skills, including experience using CRM systems—great for building your CV. We’ll provide ongoing support to help you grow in the role, while giving you the opportunity to make a real difference as part of the Deafblind UK community.
What you’ll need
You’ll be asked to provide two references, have access to a secure internet connection and a quiet place to work, and be willing to complete an Enhanced DBS check.
Support and training
We’ll ensure you feel confident and supported from the start, with training, guidance, and regular check-ins throughout your volunteering journey.

About Deafblind UK
Deafblind UK is the UK’s only charity specialising in supporting people with any level of deafblindness. We support people to live with their condition and to build their confidence and independence. We offer understanding and advice as well as practical support, residential support, care and social opportunities. We also lead research to help the world live better with deafblindness.
Deafblindness affects everyone in different ways. Some people might have mild sight and hearing loss whereas others can’t see or hear anything. It can be isolating and lonely and can lead to mental health issues - but it’s far more common than many people realise. Around 450,000 people are affected by sight and hearing loss in the UK.
