There are a broad range of volunteering roles available within Western Isles Citizens Advice Service, so you can use your knowledge, skills and experience where it matters most. From adviser roles to behind-the-scenes support, we’ll let you choose where you think you’ll make the greatest impact.
CAB offer a vital service to our islands. Our opportunities offer supported training in order to become an advisor with CAB. They welcome people from all walks of life, school leavers taking time out to retired folk putting their life skills to good use.
If you are a good listener, sympathetic, socially aware, good at communicating with others and willing to learn then all are welcome to go along for a chat and become part of the small welcoming team. The training officer started as a volunteer and is happy to answer any questions you may have.
By choosing to volunteer with Western Isles Citizens Advice Service you’ll be giving something truly valuable back to the community. As a charity, our volunteers are essential to allow us to deliver the important work we do.
