Volunteer in St Helena or Montserrat

DFID Overseas Territories Department and VSO are recruiting to volunteer roles available now on the islands of St. Helena, in the South Atlantic and Montserrat, in the Caribbean Sea. 

These islands face similar challenges: with limited economic opportunities, many inhabitants to leave in search of work. Development efforts are vital to create opportunities for people to stay. However, recruiting the skills needed to help can be difficult. The DFID VSO volunteer roles will support the governments of St Helena and Montserrat to create a brighter future for their islands.
