Charities and non-profit organisations hire thousands of volunteers every year – meaning the range of opportunities in this field is practically endless.

Although you won’t get paid (apart from expenses), you’ll have the chance to carry out the tasks and duties that could later be a part of your career. And, the experience you gain as a volunteer could be what makes you stand out from competitors in future job applications.

So if you’re keen on doing something you love and helping others – whilst gaining a range of useful skills that many employers consider prerequisites – volunteering could be a great way of getting your career started.
