Volunteer Advisers
We recruit volunteers regularly throughout the year. No prior experience is needed – you just need to be friendly, non-judgmental, and willing to learn. Initially working as an Assessor, you will be trained on the job by our supervisors, who are always available to answer questions and provide support. Should you progress to Adviser training, you will receive a Citizens Advice qualification which is widely recognised.

Research & Campaigns
The day-to-day experiences of our clients often highlight unfairness or simply mad policies and procedures. With their agreement we often write to government departments, our local MP, local councillors or service providers to highlight our concerns. More voices really help! See our campaigns page for more information.
Flexible Roles & Internships
We offer internship roles for students who wish to gain valuable experience with us for a minimum of four weeks during vacation periods.
We also have projects or activities that sometimes just require short bursts of volunteer time.
