STOP! Before you go any further, sign up to Career Connect and our Canvas page.

Career Connect

By registering with Career Connect, you can:

■ Book appointments with Placement Coordinators to discuss your volunteering options, and Faculty Employability Advisors to discuss your career planning in more detail.

■ Search and apply for volunteering opportunities and set your alert choices to receive relevant volunteering notifications.

■ Be the first to hear about upcoming careers and volunteering events.

How to Register

■ Once you have logged in to CareerConnect (winchester.jobteaser.com), navigate to the ‘Jobs’ tab.

■ Here you can enter the contract types you are interested in. Specify ‘volunteering’.

■ You can select the ‘job category’ such as ‘admin’ or ‘marketing’ if you are looking for a job in a particular field. If you are open to different job roles, leave this filter blank so that you see the full range of opportunities available to you.

■ You can add a location you wish to search within. This can be a country, county, town or city. You may also wish to add multiple locations if you are hoping to do volunteering in your hometown over holiday periods. If you can, be open with your location by selecting ‘United Kingdom’, as many schemes are based at multiple locations and will not appear on your search if you choose an individual town or city.

■ Once you’ve completed these steps and selected ‘search’, all volunteering opportunities that match your criteria will be listed.

To make the most of your job search criteria, select ‘save my criteria’ and ‘subscribe to job alerts’ to receive an email alert with any new opportunities that match your specifications. These emails will be sent to you a maximum of once per day and you can edit your criteria at any time by going to your Dashboard on CareerConnect.
