Volunteer with Birth Companions
At Birth Companions we value having a volunteer team with a wide range of backgrounds and life experience.
I’ve seen first-hand how Birth Companions can change women’s lives.”
This can include:
One-to-one support for women during labour and birth
Answering our 24-hour birth phone line
Visits to pregnant women and mothers at home and in hospital
Support at our community mother and baby groups
Practical and emotional support for women after their babies are born
Support with infant feeding
My volunteer birth companion remembered everything from my birth plan and was able to help me get what I needed. She spoke up for me when others were not listening.”
Before they begin supporting women, all our volunteers go through a comprehensive training programme that equips them with the knowledge and skills to provide evidence-based and trauma-informed support.
Once active, volunteers attend regular meetings, ongoing training opportunities and reflective practice group sessions.
We are not currently recruiting for new volunteers.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for work experience, internships or elective placements of any kind.
Our newsletter is a great way to stay up to date with all our work, and you'll be the first to hear about future opportunities to volunteer with us.
