Voluntary opportunities available for gaining HR experience

Rebecca

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!

    Unfortunately, we don't have anything the East Midlands at the moment, please be aware these vacancies when they do come up are not a quick fix in getting relevant experience to gain a full-time job elsewhere, the chances are you will most probably be up against someone with experience, also for District HR Lead positions relevant experience is essential. At the present time, we have vacancies in Berkshire pmjobs.cipd.co.uk/.../ and Oxfordshire pmjobs.cipd.co.uk/.../ Although some of the role can be done from home, you will need to live and be able to travel within that area as there are District meetings to attend, unit visits some which require you to be onsite at 6.30 pm. These are voluntary roles and unpaid however expenses are paid for travelling, however as St John Ambulance is a charity we couldn't consider someone who was prepared to commute from outside the advertised areas.

    Hi all,

    I have just started CIPD 5 Diploma and in need of experience too. It would be great to know where to start as entry level in London. Any recommendations?

    Many thanks,
