St-Albans District Citizens Advice Bureau

Volunteering

The work of the St-Albans Bureau would not be possible without our volunteers.  Nationally ninety percent of CAB workers are volunteers.  There are many ways to get involved.  You could train to be an adviser, help support the Bureau computer systems, help streamline the office admin systems, or sit on the Trustee Board and help with fundraising, publicity or our social policy work.

All our volunteer advisers are fully trained.  You do not need to have any particular qualifications or experience but to have the following abilities:

- be a good listener and open minded

- be able to work with clients to achieve results

- be able to read complex information and explain it

-be able to do basic maths

- be able to work as a team member

- be able to commit yourself to a certain number of hours each week

- be willing to support equal opportunities

Voluntary work for the CAB gives good experience for paid employment.  You'll get 100% support, full training and your expenses paid.  We are committed to equal opportunities for our workers and clients and welcome volunteers regardless of race, gender, sexuality or disabilities.

See what it's really like and join us.
