Hello everybody. Thank you for showing an interest in the WCVA’s Explore Voluntary Internship Programme. The aim of the Explore Voluntary Internship Programme is to place Interns into an organisation to provide an enjoyable, meaningful experience which enhances your employability, your skills and your understanding of the Third Sector. It will also provide an experience of value to add to your CV. If you wish to apply for any placements, application forms and further information (if required) can be requested from our helpdesk: [email protected] . The same application form can be used for all placements, should you wish to apply for more than one placement. Completed applications should be sent to me:- [email protected] with a copy of your CV attached, as it will help support your application form.

Placements within the Explore Voluntary Internship Programme are unpaid unless stated otherwise. Expenses will be paid in allallallall cases. I look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Jess ☺

Here is the August/September catalogue. More new placements, more opportunities including business, marketing and communication, film making, fashion events, research, IT, website design, and social media marketing. If there is something else you would like to see, let me know.

The placements are designed to fit alongside studying. The organisations will usually be happy to fit in with the time you have available. It could be anything from an afternoon a week to several days during the holidays.

Employers are looking for experience as well as qualifications; it can be difficult to get experience. Organisations within this programme understand you may not have experience, but you do have specialist knowledge which would be an asset to their organisation. Have a look at the catalogue, consider placements which utilise the knowledge and skills you have acquired and give you an opportunity to practice them in a working environment. Complete an application form and return to me with a copy of your CV attached and a note of the placement(s) which interests you. If the organisation likes your application, there will usually be an informal interview. You can always have a chat on the phone with the organisation to find out more before applying. Get in touch and I will give you the details of the recruiting manager! Most of the placements in the programme pay travel expenses only. Some placements arise which will offer payment; this is clearly shown in the index. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am here to help you!

For any questions, please contact me on [email protected] or 02920 431 252
