Doula UK is committed to increasing the diversity of our team and promotes inclusion and equality. Currently people who are Black, Asian or from other marginalised ethnicity communities are under-represented in our team of volunteers and we therefore particularly welcome and will prioritise candidates from these communities.
While out of pocket expenses associated with volunteering are reimbursed, please be aware that none of the above are paid roles.
