We have volunteer opportunities available for people to give their time and talent to The University of Nottingham. Some of these roles support the student experience and use volunteer skills, experience and talents which do not otherwise exist within our excellent professional staff. Other tasks such as advisory boards are reserved for volunteers. The University of Nottingham is also well known for our fantastic global research and for this we tend to need volunteers to help us solve some of the global questions we are asking.
Volunteers, and anyone who gives their time to The University of Nottingham, are a really important part of the University. They help give our students unique insights, provide advice and guidance, as well as inspire our students to go on to fantastic careers they may never have considered. Volunteers also help the University in other ways such as with research, or helping out at activities and events. Everything is really appreciated and each role is specifically for a volunteer.
