The Application Process

Our application process is the first step to becoming a volunteer with us, and involves three main steps that ensures you are suited to the role you have chosen, then providing all the training and support you need to confidently undertake you new role. 

The Application Process

Step 1: Register Your Interest
Start by completing our volunteer registration form online. This helps us understand your background, interests, availability, and preferred volunteering roles. Whether you’re passionate about supporting veterans directly, helping with fundraising, or joining a local team, this is your first step toward becoming a valued part of the Heroes International network.

Step 2: Connect with Our Volunteer Team
Once we receive your application, our volunteer coordination team will reach out to arrange a friendly chat. During this conversation, we’ll learn more about your goals and expectations, answer your questions, and help identify the roles that best align with your skills and availability. This step ensures we match you to a position where you’ll feel confident, fulfilled, and impactful.

Step 3: Training, Induction & Support
After placement, you’ll be invited to a role-specific induction session and receive comprehensive training tailored to your responsibilities. We’ll provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your volunteering journey, including access to resources, check-ins with your local team, and opportunities to grow and connect with other volunteers across the country. From the start, you’ll be equipped and empowered to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

Background checks

If the volunteer role you are applying for involves supporting adults at risk or children, we will require a background check to be conducted before you can commence in role. 

If you have a criminal record, it won’t necessarily stop you from becoming a volunteer. If you have any questions about background checks please email enquiries@heroesintl.org
