Volunteering is a great way to improve your job prospects; however during the COVID 19 pandemic many normal voluntary services have been suspended.
Remaining opportunities, as well as those created as part of the COVID response in the NHS and community, have also been swamped with offers from people who want to help. This is fantastic, although it means that there are lots more potential volunteers than current opportunities.
If you are looking for a voluntary position to improve your employability, this might mean that you are unlikely to find a suitable opportunity until things return to “normal”.
You can register for volunteering opportunities by contacting Voluntary Action South Lanarkshire (VASLAN). They hold a data base of volunteering opportunities and will be happy to help you find a position that fits.
