Volunteers have been at the core of Calcutta Rescue since Dr Jack’s very first street clinic … and we continue to welcome professionals from around the globe as well as from India itself.

During the past thirty years, the medical volunteer role has changed dramatically.  In the early years, the medical volunteer performed the job with assistance from the local Indian staff; now, the volunteer’s role is focussed on transfering skills - bringing advice, up to date techniques and evaluation skills to CR staff on the ground.

Volunteering with CR brings so many rewards – you become part of a family, learn to value all you have, make surprisingly intense and special friendships, work hard and have great fun! There is no doubt that this once in a life time experience will give you the opportunity to learn a lot about yourself and develop skills that may surprise you.

Interested? Good spoken English is essential. You need to be healthy, adaptable, determined, mature in outlook, flexible, tolerant, patient, have a good sense of humour, ready for a challenge and want to make a difference.
