Crisis at Christmas | Volunteer position | Flexible | All levels welcome | London (UK) on-site / Remote
NOTE: Still looking for VoIP people / MDM admins!
Not a job job but I'm hoping to find volunteers who can help us end homelessness in the UK for good.
Crisis is a homelessness charity in the UK. Our flagship event is Crisis at Christmas, where we open homeless shelters during the Christmas period where many other homelessness facilities close and the homeless population face loneliness during the festive period. We provide shelter, warmth, food and drink, activities and entertainment, Internet Cafe, international phone calls, and most importantly advice services to get people out of homelessness for good.
There's a ton of IT that goes on: We need internet connectivity to run our centres (and to provide our clients with Wi-Fi), software to manage everything that goes on in a centre like inventory / incidents / client relationships, making sure we have enough IT supplies like hardware (desktops, tablets and printers), and the list goes on. On top of that, we need a robust service desk to help our (also volunteer) users if they run into issue with IT.
We would appreciate any volunteers in any IT specialities (hardware, software, SRE, VoIP, tech support, etc) in any level (student, starting out or years in the field) to join us and help out with developing and maintaining IT solutions to ensure our event is a success and lift people out of homelessness. As a volunteer at Crisis myself, I've learnt a lot of things I wouldn't have a chance to do in my real job, and that's what makes it interesting to volunteer here.
