Volunteer with DRDA

RDA volunteers are extremely important and we simply could not run the programme and care for the horses without them. In order to run our programme we are looking for some strong and forward-thinking volunteers to join or leading and side walking team.

The role requires the following attributes:

Physically fit & healthy as leading and side walking can at times involve a large amount of walking over uneven ground
Committed & reliable
Eager to learn
Level-headed with a sense of fun!
Health and Safety conscience
At least 14 years of age

Volunteer Benefits: Join a friendly team, learn new skills, have fun, positively impact riders and people in need within our community and lots of horsey cuddles!

Horse experience is NOT necessary - All training is provided.

Not able/interested in volunteering for the programme? No worries! There are lots of other volunteering opportunities for all ages with us e.g. paddock duties (feeding & rugging the horses, cleaning water troughs and mucking out), maintenance jobs and fundraising to name a few!

Here are the steps to becoming a volunteer:

1. Click here to register your interest

2. Read the Volunteer Handbook here, the volunteer job description here and our 'Behaviours to support our values' here.

3. Complete the police form here. You must save the form as a PDF and include an ESignature (or scan with signature). If you need assistance with this, please email volunteer@rdadunedin.org. Completed police forms need to be sent direct to volunteer@rdadunedin.org along with a copy of your photo ID.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you
