Community Builder

NCT Community Builders are at the heart of our local volunteer teams. You will engage with parents to find out what services are needed in the local community. Build a team of community volunteers in your area who will offer inclusive, low cost events and activities.

This is a flexible home-based role that can easily be fitted around you and your availability.

What’s involved?

• Talking to people in the local community to understand what parents need

• Encouraging local people to get involved and volunteer to support parents

• Build a strong and inclusive network of parents following NCT guidance and best practice
