Depaul will consider applications for student placements in our services on a rolling basis. For their placement, students are offered the opportunity to become a voluntary member of the Depaul team at a particular service.
The commitment for this role varies depending on the needs of the service and the requirements of the placement. In the past, our services have favoured placements of a longer duration as this allows students to be fully inducted and trained before settling into the role. It also aids their learning as it allows them to build a professional relationship with the staff and volunteer teams, as well as with service users.
Student placements can be full time or part time. Please note that applicants must be at least 18 years old to be considered for a student placement.
To apply, or for more information, please get in touch with the volunteer coordinator at volunteerni@depaulcharity.net
