Volunteer with the Irish Cancer Society
There are many ways you can help the Society work towards a future without cancer. Your time, experience and enthusiasm can make a difference for people currently experiencing cancer and in helping to ensure fewer people get cancer in the future.
Volunteer opportunities
We are currently recruiting for volunteers in these roles. Please reach out if you think you can help!

Our Transport Service is a volunteer-driven transport service in which patients are brought to and from their chemotherapy treatments in our partner hospitals nationwide.
Advocacy Volunteer
Currently recruiting.
Our advocacy volunteers engage with elected representatives and policy makers amongst others to influence the decisions being made in favour of cancer patients.
Shop Volunteer
Currently recruiting.
The Irish Cancer Society runs 23 charity shops nationwide. Our shops are very much a part of the local community and rely on volunteers.
Event Support Volunteer
We’re looking for volunteers to join our team in locations across Ireland to help with events such as our Your Health Matters roadshows.
Other volunteering roles
Learn about additional volunteer roles in the Society where we currently have enough volunteers but will be recruiting again in the future.
Daffodil Centre Volunteer
In our Daffodil Centres, our cancer nurses and trained volunteers are on hand to answer your questions. We have 13 Daffodil Centres in hospitals nationwide.
Peer Support/Parent Peer Support Volunteer
Peer Support gives people with cancer the opportunity to have a listening ear from someone who really understands in a time when they need it most. All of our Peer Support volunteers have had a cancer diagnosis or are the parents of a child who has been diagnosed with cancer.
