Volunteer Opportunities

We rely on volunteers to help deliver the chapter's strategic objectives.  Volunteer roles are often project driven to ensure achievable objectives and to avoid individual overextending themselves.  Everyone at the chapter, including board members, are volunteers and we fully appreciate that work commitments take priority.

We welcome fellow business analysts from any industry or those aspiring to become a BA.   We particularly welcome volunteers who have a project or initiative in mind that they would like to pursue.

The role requires:  

• Enthusiasm!
• The ability to work outside of your comfort zone and handle ambiguity!
• A shared interest in establishing the chapter as a networking hub for BAs in the UK
• Working directly with a sponsoring director and liaising with other board members as required
• 1-2 hours a week over a 3 month trial period
• All volunteers must be paid up IIBA and UK Chapter members.

Becoming a volunteer

The first step to becoming a volunteer is to register your interest.

Once you have registered, your details will be held on file and we will contact you whenever an opportunity to volunteer arises.    If you have a specific project, initiative or area of volunteering that you would like to become involved with, please let us know.
