Volunteering

West Berkshire Therapy Centre supports adults with mobility challenges to regain strength, confidence and independence. To keep our much-valued rehabilitation gym accessible and sustainable, we are looking to strengthen our volunteer team within the following roles:

  • Supporting clients by showing them how our bespoke power-assisted exercise machines work, handing out their exercise records and more.

  • Helping with administrative tasks such as:

    • Client system updates

    • Document archiving

    • Well-being phone calls to clients

  • Cover front desk operations in times of staff absence during daytime week sessions, as well as on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturdays.

  • Help us in delivering a major £1.5 million development project. Contribute your knowledge about pool design, operation and management. Help us to source the best equipment needed to operate a pool reliably and cost-effectively.

  • We are looking for more trustees to join the board to provide leadership and to share expertise in their field of interest.

    Areas of particular interest include:

    • Business development

    • Clinical advice

    • GDPR advice

    • Leisure industry / hydrotherapy pool knowledge and experience

    • Swimming pool maintenance and operations

    • Finance advice

    • Project management

    • Marketing / publishing / campaigns.

  • A trusted role at the heart of the organisation, helping to ensure our finances remain well managed and reliable.

    • Oversee around 20 payments each month

    • Ensure our 10 staff are paid accurately and on time

    • Work with Trustees to maintain sound financial oversight

    • Supported by an independent payroll provider and bookkeeper

    This role can sit within the Board of Trustees or alongside it, depending on your preference and experience. It would suit someone who is numerate, detail-focused, and values responsibility and trust, perhaps with finance or business experience.

  • A key role focused on securing the funding that keeps our existing gym running.

    • Identify and approach suitable grant-giving Trusts (around 5–6 per month)

    • Prepare and submit funding applications

    • Help secure £50,000+ per year towards core costs

    • Maintain a simple pipeline of opportunities and outcomes

    You will be supported with background information and previous applications. This role would suit someone who enjoys writing, research and working independently towards meaningful outcomes.

  • A flexible supporting role, helping to build and maintain a steady flow of grant applications.

    • Research potential funders and opportunities

    • Assist in drafting applications

    • Help track applications and outcomes

    • Support the overall grants process

    You will work alongside the Grants Lead and fundraising team, with guidance and examples provided. This role would suit someone organised, methodical, and interested in writing or research—either to use existing skills or develop new ones.

All roles are flexible and can be carried out to suit your availability. A full introduction and ongoing support will be provided.
