Volunteering & Work Experience
At SCA we welcome enquiries from those seeking work experience either by volunteering in one of our Health and Wellbeing Centres or undertaking an unpaid work placement in one of our offices.
Such unpaid work can be of benefit to:
- students of any age who are seeking practical work experience to complement their career plans/studies,
- those who are considering a career change but would like relevant experience first,
- those who are currently not in employment but would like to fill their spare time in a meaningful way, as well as gaining valuable work experience,
- those who have retired from full time work, or currently having a career break seeking the opportunity to 'give something back' by volunteering.
Day Care Helpers
As a volunteer in one of our Health and Wellbeing Centres for older people you will assist the paid members of staff with a range of tasks to ensure that our centre members have an enjoyable and stimulating day. Full details of our volunteering opportunities can be found on the do-it website, alternatively please contact us for more information.
