Vacancies appear on the site
Jobs may be submitted directly by relevant employers or represented from structured public vacancy information where there is a clear original application source.
How it works
A straightforward route from vacancy to application.
Voluntary Sector Jobs brings together current opportunities, specialist career guidance and employer recruitment resources in one focused website.
Candidates search and compare
Visitors can browse by sector, working pattern, location and keyword, then review the job summary and closing information.
Applications go to the employer/source
Where a vacancy uses an external application route, candidates are directed to that original source to review the complete vacancy and apply.
Expired jobs stop appearing as current
Current-job queries exclude vacancies after their closing date. Structured job data also includes closing information where available.
Use the site as a discovery and preparation resource.
Job pages summarise key vacancy information such as title, employer, location, employment type, salary where available and closing date. For externally sourced vacancies, the original source remains the authority for the complete role description, person specification and application process.
Our Career Advice section provides original long-form guidance on CVs, supporting statements, interviews, career change, fundraising, NGOs, housing and other voluntary-sector career topics.
For employers
Relevant employers can submit vacancies through our Post a Job form. Employer-submitted vacancies are held for review before publication. The employer remains responsible for the accuracy, legality and continued availability of the vacancy.
Our Employer Centre also contains practical guidance on job adverts, recruitment process, inclusion, salary transparency, interviewing and onboarding.
