Volunteering opportunities

Use our Skills Explorer to find volunteering opportunities where you can develop new skills and build on existing ones. It’s a great tool to use in conjunction with your wider career planning.  Why not check out UCL Careers' Skills Hub as well - set up to help you develop the skills, strengths and qualities employers are looking for.

If you’re interested in a role, login using your UCL credentials, press ‘register interest’. You’ll then be able to see information about how to apply, and have details emailed to you.  It's then completely up to you whether to take things forward to apply or not.

If you'd like to chat about your volunteering interests or would like some more support in finding the right role for you, please get in touch.
