Organised by Charity Jobs NI, the Charity Careers & Volunteer Job Fair will take place on Tuesday 24 March 2026 from 10am to 2pm at the Assembly Buildings Conference Centre, Belfast.

The final exhibitor line-up reflects the breadth of the sector, with organisations working across mental health, disability support, housing, youth services, family support, education, fundraising, heritage, faith-based work, community rescue and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the organisations attending are Inspire Wellbeing, Autism Initiatives, HarmonI, Triangle Housing Association Ltd, Cedar Foundation, Crossroads Care NI, Epilepsy Action and Nexus, giving visitors the chance to explore a wide range of health, disability support and social care opportunities on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam Humphries, Chief Executive of HarmonI, said: \u201cIf you’re driven by your values and want to find a career in a sector which does so much more than provide employment, this is the place to start.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The event will also feature organisations focused on children, young people and families, including Action for Children, Start360, MACS and Caring Breaks Limited. Together, they reflect the range of support being delivered across Northern Ireland, from early intervention and family services to youth homelessness and community-based care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joanna Malone, Digital Executive at MACS, said: \u201cWhether you\u2019re looking for a paid role, a volunteering opportunity, or simply want to find out more about the sector, it\u2019s a fantastic space to explore what\u2019s out there. At MACS, we\u2019re always keen to meet people who care deeply about young people, who are kind, and who want to be part of something that genuinely changes lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The fair will also bring together organisations involved in community development, learning, advocacy and sector support, including NIACRO, OCN NI, Presbyterian Church in Ireland and the Chartered Institute of Fundraising Northern Ireland. Their presence adds to a line-up that reflects the wide range of roles, organisations and causes across the third sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Bunce, Co-founder of Charity Jobs NI, said: \u201cTomorrow\u2019s fair is a chance for people to see just how varied and vibrant Northern Ireland\u2019s third sector really is. With so many organisations coming together under one roof, attendees can explore opportunities they may not have considered before and speak directly to the people behind them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The final line-up also highlights the diversity of the event beyond traditional recruitment sectors, with exhibitors including Cruse Bereavement Support, Girls Brigade Northern Ireland, The Conservation Volunteers, Festival of Fools, Community Rescue Service, Think Design Engineer Foundation, Railway Preservation Society of Ireland\/Whitehead Railway Museum and Living Water Adopt-A-Child UK\/Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also taking part is The Conservation Volunteers, which will be encouraging attendees to find out more about opportunities to get involved in environmental and community-based activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ciara Diamond, Volunteer Recruitment and Engagement Officer at The Conservation Volunteers, said the fair is \u201ca fun and engaging afternoon out, a chance to learn about opportunities on your doorstep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The fair is aimed at anyone interested in finding out more about careers and volunteering in the third sector, whether they are actively job-hunting, considering a career change, returning to work or simply exploring what opportunities may suit their skills and interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
