We’re currently looking for passionate, friendly, and committed parents to become Parent/Carer Champions with the parenting programmes team in Waltham Forest.

Parent/Carer Champions are volunteers who use their own lived experience of parenting to support and encourage other local families. They play a key role in building connections across our community, helping parents to access services, feel less isolated, and know they’re not alone in the challenges of family life.

What does a Parent/Carer Champion do?

• Share information about local services, courses, and support available for families
• Chat with other parents in your community—formally or informally
• Use your experience to inspire and empower others
• Help shape how services are delivered by feeding back what matters to families.

What we offer:

• Full training and ongoing support
• Flexible volunteering to fit around your schedule
• The chance to meet new people, build confidence, and make a difference
• Opportunities for personal development, references and progression

Please get in touch using the information on the attached flyer or pass this on to someone who might be interested.

Best wishes

At Walthamstow School for Girls, we are committed to providing a thorough, broad and rich careers education for our students with as many encounters as possible with volunteers from the world of work.

We want students to be well-equipped to make important decisions about their future careers and pathways. 

We couldn't do this without the generosity of people like you and I want to thank you in advance for working closely with our school.  

If you are able to volunteer for one or more events, please complete the questionnaire linked below. This is an expression of interest, not a full commitment.

As we approach specific events, we will reach out to you to confirm your availability.
