If you have strong communication skills and enjoy problem solving, join us and use your skills to make a difference!
We are particularly interested to hear from people who are confident communicating in English and an Eastern European language such as Polish, Romanian, Slovakian, Hungarian or Czech. As a Roma organisation, we are always pleased to welcome Roma volunteers.
You will be provided with full training and ongoing support.
