Volunteering

The work of Citizens Advice North Northants would be impossible without our volunteers.  With over 40 volunteers, and a wide range of opportunities, there are many ways to become involved. You could train to be an adviser, help streamline our office administration systems, become a member of the Trustee Board, or assist with fundraising, publicity or our Research & Campaigns work.

All our volunteer advisers are fully trained and supported

You do not need any particular qualifications or experience, but we are particularly looking for people with the following skills and attributes:

• Be a good listener and open minded

• Able to work with clients to achieve results

• Read and understand complex information and relate it to clients

• Have a good level of literacy and numeracy skills

• Enjoy being part of a team

• Can commit yourself to a certain number of regular hours (although we are flexible)

• Support equal opportunities

Voluntary work for Citizens Advice North Northants can provide excellent experience for paid employment. You will receive support from the very beginning, full training, and your expenses paid. We are committed to equal opportunities for our workers and clients, and welcome volunteers regardless of race, gender, sexuality or disabilities.

Please contact us in person, by letter, by phone, or email volunteering@nnca.uk to find out more about becoming a volunteer.
