Description
We are looking to expand our language bank to ensure we can make volunteering with us as accessible as possible! This could include joining a 1-hour induction call (online or in-person), or joining the volunteer for their shift. Our inductions and shifts are always led by a trained member of staff / volunteer. There is no weekly commitment required, and we can arrange inductions/shifts to suit yourself and the volunteer.
