Students can fulfil volunteer roles in two ways: through ‘general’ volunteering and community placements. We can help you decide which option best suits the needs of your role and organisation - many roles are suitable for both.
General Volunteering
These roles take place outside of studies and are advertised to all students through our online portal, Careers Connect.
You can register and upload your role for free, specifying all details such as the role description, required time commitment, your applications process and any essential/desired role specifications. Students will then apply directly to you.
Community Placements
These are short-term placements which form part of a course module. Students need to complete a set number of hours within a specific time-frame, usually 30 or 50 hours over 2-3 months.
This option works well if you’d like student volunteers with specific skills and knowledge, and are happy to support short-term placements.
