What do Volunteers do?

Administrators ensure that bureau systems run smoothly. Good support is essential for the running of any organisation, and CAB is no different.

There are many different administrative roles - we can match your skills and time available to the bureau's needs.

Tasks may include:

• Using word processing, spread sheets and database packages.
• Maintaining and developing administrative systems
• Stock control of leaflets and materials and updating information.
• Helping to arrange events.
• Receiving and sending faxes, mail, e-mail and telephone calls.
• Taking notes at meetings.
• Filing

All sorts of people volunteer for many different reasons, but one thing that unites them all is that they find it challenging, rewarding and varied.

Volunteering provides an opportunity to learn new skills and to develop existing ones.

Each role will enable you to develop specific expertise. For example, you might improve your IT and organisational skills as an administrator.

In any role you will develop your skill in a number of valuable areas, like dealing with the public as well as increasing your self-confidence through practical hands-on experience.

Some roles are more flexible than others. We'll do our best to find a role for you that fits in with you interests, and we'll be as flexible as possible in enabling you to volunteer at the times that suit you best.

There are opportunities for everyone to develop - you never stop learning.
