Once the charity reviews your application, you will be sent an email advising if you have been shortlisted for the volunteer role or not. You can log in and view the status of your application at any time.
The charity will then make contact with all shortlisted applicants to discuss your fit and availability for the role. This is so people can find out more about the volunteer job and the organisation can find the right volunteer for the job.
In the interview, you should be ready to answer questions about your previous work experience, both paid and voluntary, discuss your skills and qualifications, and provide the names of referees.
Below are some tips to help you start fulfilling the volunteer project. We recommend you discuss and agree on:
- Clear objectives, timeframe & the deliverables
- Mutual obligations
- Level of support and involvement the charity can offer
- Engage in a project you are interested in and will enjoy
- Be honest on your capacity to deliver, on your strengths and weaknesses
