Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, build confidence and develop skills that employers look for. It can also help you meet people, try different jobs, add useful experience to your CV and gain a reference.

Inspire offer volunteering opportunities through our Community Makers scheme. Whether you have one minute, one hour, one day, one week or can commit to regular involvement, it’s always worth it to volunteer with us. Our volunteering opportunities range from within places of welcome, adult crafts, adult learning and much more.

Look for local vacancies, set up job alerts, upload your CV and apply online. It can be a good idea to check more than one website, as employers do not always advertise in the same place.

You can also get help looking for work by heading over to one of our job clubs.
