Matching stage
If you are successful at the assessment day and are selected, you will go through a process of being matched to a suitable placement. Our matching process aims to ensure a good match between volunteer and job profiles.
A volunteer placement advisor (VPA) will discuss with you the available placements, along with timescales and other personal requirements. Due to the nature of VSO’s work, there may be occasional delays in departure and possibly frustrations brought on by factors outside our control. In such cases, we will do everything we can to resolve such problems, so please bear with us.
Placement offers
We will offer you a placement that will suit your qualifications and experience. We send your CV to the VSO program office overseas and to the organization requesting the volunteer. They then decide if your qualifications and experience meet their requirements and are appropriate to the needs of the requesting organization.
Learning needs assessment
After you have accepted a placement and the requesting organization has accepted you, your VPA will review any learning needs with you and jointly decide how you can best prepare for your placement. This may mean having to take up additional training courses or short immersion programs, apart from the required VSO pre-departure training. VSO Bahaginan will pays for any additional training identified.
