Jobs and volunteering opportunities (young people)
Looking for work can be challenging and sometimes frustrating.
There are many things you can do to find work. You can find:
- a personal development course to build your skills
- an Apprenticeship or traineeship to earn while gaining a recognised vocational qualification.
You may also want to consider:
- volunteering either in your local community or elsewhere
- checking for jobs at the Job Centre.
Volunteering
Volunteering is when you choose to give your time to help others, either in the local community or elsewhere.
It can be:
- formal or informal
- individual or in groups
- indoors or outdoors.
Volunteers don’t get paid but get:
- the satisfaction of helping others
- a chance to make new friends
- an opportunity to develop new skills.
Volunteers can help in administration, IT, care for children/elderly people, accountancy, gardening and sports.
For other volunteering opportunities check:
