MACS Joins Line-Up For Charity Careers & Volunteer Job Fair

MACS has confirmed it will be among more

than 25 exhibitors taking part in Northern Ireland’s only dedicated recruitment and volunteering event for the third sector this November.

The Charity Careers & Volunteer Job Fair, organised by Charity Jobs NI, takes place on Wednesday, November 5, from 10am to 2pm at the Assembly Buildings Conference Centre, Belfast.

Free to attend, the event brings together charities, community organisations and social enterprises from across Northern Ireland to promote careers and volunteering opportunities within the sector. Attendees can meet potential employers, explore current vacancies and discover new ways to make a difference.

MACS will use the event to showcase its work in supporting young people facing homelessness and promote a range of new roles available across Northern Ireland.

Joanna Malone, Digital and Communications Executive at MACS said:

“The job fair is a great opportunity for us to connect with people who want to use their skills to help end youth homelessness in Northern Ireland. At MACS, we are a family-friendly organisation that values compassion, flexibility, and purpose in everything we do, and we’re really looking forward to meeting those interested in the work we do.”

Co-founder of Charity Jobs NI, said: “The Charity Careers & Volunteer Job Fair is about connecting people who want to make a difference with the organisations that need them. For attendees, it’s a chance to explore whether a career in the sector or a volunteering role is right for them. For charities, it’s a practical way to meet new talent, share ideas and showcase the work they do across Northern Ireland.”

At the spring 2025 event, more than 190 paid positions and 260 volunteer roles were promoted, generating over 450 application requests on the day. Exhibitors reported meaningful conversations with candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, with many going on to secure new hires and volunteers as a direct result of the fair.

Now in its second year, the fair has established itself as a key date in the third sector calendar and remains the only event of its kind anywhere in the UK or Ireland.
