Community Engagement Volunteer (Libraries) - East Dumbartonshire

Volunteer Opportunity: Community Engagement Volunteer – Libraries (East Dunbartonshire)
Be the voice of Marie Curie in your local library network
Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? We’re looking for dedicated Community Engagement Volunteers to support Marie Curie’s outreach efforts across libraries in East Dunbartonshire. This is a unique opportunity to help raise awareness of the vital support services Marie Curie offers to people living with terminal illness and their families.
Why Volunteer with Us?
At Marie Curie, we believe everyone should have access to the care and support they need at the end of life. By volunteering with us, you’ll help ensure our services are visible and accessible in trusted public spaces — especially local libraries.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Community Engagement Volunteer supporting libraries, you will:
• Take responsibility for 3–6 local libraries, depending on your location.
• Build positive relationships with library staff and engage with library users where appropriate.
• Monitor stock levels of Marie Curie information materials and top them up as needed.
• Record stock checks and activity using a simple Microsoft Office form and return it to the Community Engagement Team.
• Look out for additional opportunities within the library to share Marie Curie’s Information & Support resources.
• Act as a local ambassador for Marie Curie, promoting our services and values.

What We’re Looking For
We welcome volunteers who are:
• Passionate about improving care for people with terminal illness and their loved ones.
• Active in their local community and able to share Marie Curie’s vision.
• Strong communicators with excellent interpersonal skills.
• Team players who can collaborate with staff and fellow volunteers.
• Committed to upholding our values of honesty, openness, and integrity.
What You’ll Gain
• A meaningful opportunity to support a cause that matters.
• A chance to develop new skills or share your existing expertise.
• Full training and ongoing support from our Community Engagement Team.
• Reimbursement of agreed reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
• A rewarding experience that contributes to your personal and professional growth.

Ready to Make a Difference?
If you’re enthusiastic about community engagement and want to help ensure everyone has access to the support they need, we’d love to hear from you
