    VSO - Sharing Skills, Changing Lives

    Health jobs

    Sharing skills. Changing lives.

    VSO is an international development charity that works through volunteers. Our vision is a world without poverty where people work together to fulfil their potential.

    It pays to change the world

    By sharing your passion for teaching and learning, your ability to support and guide with local colleagues, you can start something great. You can make a noticeable difference to the lives of some of the world’s poorest communities.

    Being a VSO volunteer is a hugely satisfying experience and you may uncover new skills you never knew you had. Even better, you’ll receive plenty of training and support such as flights, a local living allowance, accommodation and resettlement support when you return.

    Go on… change the world!

    Now is the best time to volunteer

    The Government has announced a fund to cover the pensions of public servants who volunteer overseas with VSO between April 2008 and March 2011. Find out more about getting your public sector pension paid.
