Vacancies, Placements & Volunteering

Taking that first step is often the hardest but we are on hand to support you to where you want to be. One of our main strengths is getting people ready for volunteering opportunities, with the possibility of volunteering within our organisation or within other local schemes/organisations.

We always aim to train and invest in people so that they become knowledgeable in their chosen field. This way, we not only invest in the individual but invest in our community long term.

"I'm so thankful for all the lessons that I learned, I honestly felt so welcomed in there snd I will forever be thankful. Thank you so much once again" - Hopwood Hall College Student Placement 2022

We encourage applications to our vacancies from all sections of society, irrespective of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, pregnancy, maternity, race (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins), sexual orientation, religion or belief, or because someone is married or in a civil partnership. We believe our organisation will be a stronger by promoting diversity, encouraging different perspectives and valuing this in a meaningful way.

Burnside is committed to making our recruitment practices barrier-free and as inclusive as possible for everyone. This includes making adjustments or changes for people who have a disability or long-term health condition. 

We can offer volunteer opportunities and support in the following areas, (subject to availability and suitability): 
Community Events
Children's Projects & Playschemes 
Adult Support Sessions
Adult Training Courses, Workshops and Consultations
Employment Support Sessions
Community Engagement & Empowerment

Volunteering and taking advantage of all our training, opens up many opportunities and a safe, none pressured environment to try out new things. All you have to do is pick up the phone and ask for Trisha on 0161 643 5775, send us a quick email on enquiry@burnsidecentre.org.uk or come in and have a chat - just ask at reception for Trisha or Kaireen.
