Have a variety of skills? Become a volunteer with us!
We are looking for enthusiastic, curious and thoughtful people to join our volunteer team! If you are interested, please read the text below carefully before applying!
We are particularly keen to hear from people from any background to be part of Teakisi in order to trigger a lasting positive change in the lives of everyone in our community right here in the north east of England and worldwide. Applications are particularly welcome from those living in the North East of England.
You need to have a deep interest in and commitment to inclusion, diversity and fighting inequalities wherever you see them but you do not need to be an expert.
Essentially, we are trying to strengthen and amplify a narrative of change, which Teakisi has been working on for sometime now.
The core tasks of the volunteers we need include the following:
- Take part in team discussions about our work, contribute ideas, thoughts and help at events and advocate for Teakisi in order to improve how Teakisi does its work.
During this recruitment, we are particularly keen to hear from people with the different skills and not only limited to– events organising, office admin, website management, customer service and fundraising.
We need to stress that this is volunteering: it should be fun and rewarding. We take the approach of “we do what we can do” within our volunteer team. This means that we are flexible and we accommodate each other as much as possible. We also rely on each other to inspire each other with our creativity.
Teakisi will cover reasonable receipted out of pocket expenses (e.g. Travel expenses – mileage is limited to 0.45p per mile and you can claim up to £7 a day if you are travelling by public transport).
You will have to agree to this before starting your volunteering with us. Forms/Invoices should be completed on a monthly basis, they should be approved by Teakisi and emailed by the 28th of the month.
If you do not wish to be reimbursed, we’d love you to consider making the claim and then donate the money back to us – this would generate income for Teakisi.
