The application process

When we receive your application form (for volunteer jobs) or CV (for specialist assignments) we’ll assess:

• whether a local partner is likely to ask for your skills

• your readiness to go to live and work in a developing country.

If we think there may be suitable jobs for you with VSO, we’ll take up personal and professional references and invite you to an assessment day. We’ll get back to you about your application within five days of receipt (for specialist assignments) or within four weeks of receipt (for volunteer jobs).
