Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what can I do for others?
In order to answer that question, Bincom Global has provided a platform where you can volunteer to impact the tech community and affect lives in your spare time.

You are not just helping someone in tech but as you do so, Bincom Global has records of what you have done and can also be referenced when securing or landing a new role

To volunteer with Bincom Global, you are to fill out the online form here.

Depending on the role and level you are volunteering for, the time and hours you need to spare may differ but we do ensure that all our volunteers spend at least a minimum of 6 months with us.

Depending on the team you choose to volunteer with, Bincom Global will provide you with exceptional guidance and mentorship in order to carry out tasks that will be assigned to you.

No requirement to undertake a minimum number of activities

Bincom Global recognises that a career in IT can ebb and flow and that availability will vary accordingly. We expect that you carry us along by sending an email a month if your circumstances change and you find that you cannot commit to supporting Bincom Global.

Please let Bincom Global know as soon as possible and we will arrange for an alternative volunteer to take over the project. We would ask that you help and support the new volunteer in terms of making the handover as seamless as possible.

If this is the case, please let Bincom Global know as soon as possible and we will arrange for an alternative volunteer to take over the project. As stated above, we would ask that you help and support the new volunteer in terms of making the handover as seamless as possible. 

In addition, we would like to understand how the mismatch happened – did the project need to change, or were they misinterpreted? Or is our record of your current skill out of date?

No. All volunteers are expected to work pro bono (i.e., free of charge). Where there are travel and subsistence costs, these may be recoverable from Bincom Global – but you would need to agree on this in advance with Bincom Global.

No. Bincom Global volunteers are regarded as independent and vendor agnostic. You should not use your position whilst volunteering to promote any self-interest.

Bincom Global will endeavour to check that its volunteers are professional, trustworthy, and have the required level of passion, skill levels and appropriate experience. We check these values in several ways – through reviewing LinkedIn and other social media channels and, on occasion, by requesting references.
