Work Club Volunteer

10th April 2024

At No Limits, it is important our staff and volunteers reflect, represent and have experience of the challenges faced by the children and young people we support. We are proud and appreciate our many staff and volunteers who use their own lived experience to support the children and young people they work with.

With this in mind, we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work and organisational culture – and when recruiting, it’s important to us that we continue diversifying our staff and volunteer teams, with children and young people at the centre of everything we do.

When we talk about talent, we value the transferrable skills and experiences you can bring to No Limits, which can be through work (in the same or a different sector), volunteering or personal experiences. To make sure we get the best talent on our team, we are open to and actively encourage applications from all backgrounds and sections of the community, including diverse ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQIA+, disabled and neurodiverse.

If invited to interview, please let us know if we can support you at interview with any reasonable adjustments, such as flexible working, access arrangements or a suitable place to pray.

About the role

As a Work Club Volunteer, you will be supporting 16 to 25 year olds on a one-to-one or small group basis, providing them with help and support to find college courses, explore career ideas, apply for places and vacancies and all the way through to the interview and beyond. Examples of activities you may be helping young people with include:

• searching for opportunities 
• writing and print CVs, application forms and / or covering letters 
• preparing for interviews 
• supporting with IT skills 
• gaining insight into different types of opportunities 
• researching local education and employment fairs and events 
• identifying and referring to training and work experience 
• finding out about volunteering opportunities 
• developing a journey plan with goals and focus areas 
• celebrating positive results and achievements 
• connecting in with other No Limits services, where relevant 

You will be helping young people to increase their confidence and chances of securing their next opportunity

Volunteers are very much part of our team, so you will be invited to other meetings and organisational events too.
