Voluntary opportunities available for gaining HR experience

Hi All,

I'm a lvl 5 CIPD student and working as a HR Advisor for volunteers for St John Ambulance. With the limited promotional opportunities available to charities for voluntary roles it can be difficult to fill some posts. A colleague suggested reaching out to local universities and I immediately thought of here so I'm opening it up to you all first :)

I am actively looking for volunteers for HR roles in the Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland area. I have vacancies open for roles suitable for someone studying towards lvl 3 http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/volunteer/the-role-for-you/volunteer-vacancies---new/vacancy-details.aspx?Id=7714 or lvl 5 http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/volunteer/the-role-for-you/volunteer-vacancies---new/vacancy-details.aspx?Id=77150 

It works out a few hours a week which you can fit around your own schedule, mostly from the comfort of your own home. The only prerequisite is you need to be able to travel across the district to meetings, so it will be difficult if you don't have a car.

If you are interested but not based in this area please still feel free to register your interest with me. I know there are opportunities available in districts nationwide, and I will pass your information along to my colleagues.

Let me know if any questions, thanks!

  • Keep an eye either on the SJA website under volunteers, alternatively, I'm now posting positions as they come available on People Management Jobs online in the volunteer section, vacancies will also be on Personnel Today jobs. Past few weeks we were looking for people in Birmingham, Thame in Oxfordshire and Maidenhead, but these are now closed. Vacancies are only advertised for something like 20 days.
