Volunteering gives you hands on experience and provides opportunities to develop new skills and connect with your community or neighbourhood. |
Easy Steps to Volunteering |
· Check out the current volunteer positions listed on our website HERE or
· A quick search on SEEK will also show you the volunteering opportunities listed with FNQ Volunteers or volunteering opportunities anywhere in Australia.
· Volunteer opportunities are updated monthly and volunteers can submit an 'Expression of Interest' for any volunteer position HERE or through SEEK.
· Anyone can lodge an online opportunity application from the SEEK Volunteer or GoVolunteer site it's a free service and does NOT require registering with either site.
· Once you have submitted your online expression of interest the form will be sent to FNQ Volunteers. Our staff will contact you to follow up on your expression of interest or application.
· An appointment for an interview will be arranged with one of our friendly Volunteer Referral Officers.
· Interviews can be in person at our office OR by phone if you live outside the local area of Cairns City.
· At your interview one of our friendly Volunteer Referral Officers will discuss your application, interests and skills before matching you with a suitable volunteer position.
· The Referral Officer will contact the Volunteer Coordinator at a Member organisation to set up an appointment to discuss the details of the volunteer position.
· A copy of the volunteer and organisation's rights and responsibilities, a position description and a letter of introduction will be provided to the volunteer to take to the interview with the organisation.
· If you are not keen on volunteering on your own then perhaps look for a group activity and take along a friend!
· Once accepted for the position, the volunteer and the coordinator then decide on rostered days and hours to commence your volunteering.
· FNQ Volunteers follows up with every volunteer and the volunteer coordinator on a regular basis.
All organisations listing their volunteer opportunities with FNQ Volunteers on SEEK are members and have been qualified as an 'Approved Organisation'.
Hosted by Volunteering Australia, SEEK is a non-profit initiative designed to bring volunteers and the organisations seeking them together. |
