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!

  • Hi Rebecca,
    Hope you are fine.
    Though, I’m aware that this post was posted in August 2019 however, I am currently looking to gain some HR experience in London Area but would be fine to take up HR experience in Leicestershire area if this available. I qualified for CIPD Associate Level since 2013 but I’ve been unable to secure a job within HR profession, at most interviews I attended, the feedback I’ve got was the job was offered to another candidate with much HR experience and currently works within HR. I’ve worked and currently worked within NHS as a Manager in the capacity of line management with responsibility of delivery and implementing HR policies, processes and Procedures of my work organisation.

    I desperately need some HR experience that would help me secure a job within HR and allow me step into the career that I have so much passion for.

    Thank you in advance for your help.
