Teaching<\/h2>\r\nTeaching others is a great way to learn yourself. Working with children and young people is brilliant experience and gives you the chance to develop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/how-teachers-have-transferable-skills-charity-sector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transferrable skills<\/a>. This includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/how-to-develop-your-soft-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soft skills<\/a> like planning, communication, active listening, constructive feedback and empathy. And you can get this experience by volunteering online.\r\n\r\nFor example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookmarkreading.org\/volunteer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bookmark Reading Charity<\/a> is an online volunteer reading programme. It involves spending two 30-minute sessions a week reading stories and playing games with a child aged 5\u201311. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaccessproject.org.uk\/volunteer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Access Project<\/a> promotes social mobility by matching students to volunteers for an hour of free online tutoring per week.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/volunteering-online.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"2. Mentoring","content":"<h2>2. Mentoring<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/the-benefits-of-mentoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Being a mentor has plenty of benefits<\/a>, not just for the mentee but also for the mentor themselves. Mentorship schemes are often undersubscribed for mentors, as many volunteers don\u2019t think they\u2019re senior enough. But all you need is a couple of years\u2019 experience in your field and a willingness to impart your knowledge.\r\n\r\nServices like <a href=\"https:\/\/brightside.org.uk\/what-we-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brightside<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/onemillionmentors.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Million Mentors<\/a> are run online, pairing you with young mentees for regular virtual check-ins.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re looking to move into a role with greater responsibility, becoming a mentor can help you develop leadership and coaching skills. Sharing your knowledge and experience with others, and seeing them succeed, can increase your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/7-tips-to-feel-more-confident-at-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confidence<\/a>. Meeting new people and hearing things from different perspectives is also valuable.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"3. Supporting service users","content":"<h2>3. Supporting service users<\/h2>\r\nVolunteering in a support role will give you experience of interacting directly with service users. It\u2019s enormously rewarding and a chance to develop the people skills that are essential in charity work.\r\n\r\nThere are lots of ways to do this online. For example, Sense\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/get-involved\/volunteering-with-sense\/volunteer-as-a-sense-virtual-buddy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual Buddying<\/a> matches volunteers with disabled people to meet online for an hour a week. It\u2019s a way for you both to make friends, build confidence and learn new skills.\r\n\r\nAs a volunteer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemyeyes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Be My Eyes<\/a>, you can help blind and low-vision individuals with their daily tasks via video calls. Users can ask for help with tasks ranging from explaining the colour of a shirt to navigating unfamiliar surroundings.\r\n\r\nAge UK\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesilverline.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silver Line<\/a> Helpline is a free telephone service for older people. As a volunteer, you offer a friendly voice at the end of the line, whether through a quick, friendly chat about their day or a much-needed heart-to-heart.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, Alzheimer\u2019s Society <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimers.org.uk\/get-support\/companion-calls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Companion Calls<\/a> are specifically designed for people affected by dementia, providing a warm and supportive channel for conversation.

For example, a charity might be looking for someone to help out with social media marketing for a few hours a week. Or they may need support with bid-writing, or content writing more generally.\r\n\r\nThis type of volunteering is useful if you\u2019re looking to sharpen your written communication skills. And it\u2019s a good way to build your portfolio so that you can provide examples of your published work at application stage.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"5.
