I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Volunteering Matters (Alloa, Scotland) in Apr 2024
Interview
I didn't get the job but the interview was the best one I have had in my life. The process was so straightforward and they even give you the questions ahead of time so that you can prepare answers for them. The interviewers were both lovely.
