Volunteering and employability

Many studies have shown that volunteering not only helps to boost the wellbeing of individuals, whilst supporting community groups, but can also help with developing employability. Volunteering helps to forge stronger links with communities and, in doing so, can naturally build personal networks, enhance self-motivation, boost confidence, develop skills and, of course, experience.

Any volunteering activity can also feature on your CV, helping to fill any gaps that might appear as a consequence of not being in work for any time.

As well as practical skills that can be transferable to work situations, volunteering can also help to hone softer skills such as empathy, teamwork, communication, time-management and creativity, so why not give volunteering a try?

 Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice

The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice provide supportive and end of life care for adult patients and families in West Surrey and North-East Hampshire, who are living with an advanced or terminal illness, such as cancer. Each volunteer is paired with one of the patients and visits them at home once a week, for up to three hours.

They may take them shopping or to medical appointments, go for a walk or drive together, or simply sit and have a chat over a cup of tea. This help also means that the patient’s carer can have a few hours to themselves. If you like the idea of making a real difference to someone’s life, this could be the thing for you!
