Gain valuable experience by helping
the community
Volunteers are at the heart of our organisation and have been a vital element since Nova was established in 1983. We have a strong tradition of encouraging learners and users to develop themselves as volunteers within Nova and progress to further education and paid employment.
We also welcome support from professionals across varying disciplines to support us in amplifying our work.

More than half of our paid staff are former volunteers and 75% of our volunteers are former learners.
Over 50% of our volunteers from 2009/2010 are now in employment, so we have an excellent
track record of engaging people as learners and moving them on to voluntary and then paid positions.
