Welcome to the all-new Activelink web site!
We have just launched this new site, which includes all of the content and functionality of the old site, now fully searchable, and we will be introducing lots of new features over the next few weeks!
All of the Vacancies are listed in the Community Exchange menu in the top left-hand corner. Vacancies have been divided into industry-specific sub-categories (at the recommendation of our users!) If you are having difficulty locating a job, training course or funding opportunity, please use our search function at the top right-hand corner.
You can subscribe to RSS feeds from many areas, which is especially useful for people who are seeking a job in a specific discipline - just press the orange button at the foot of each Vacancies section (in the Community Exchange menu in the top left-hand corner) to subscribe to your feeds of interest.
Using a screenreader? Please excuse our drop-down menus and use the sitemap instead - we've provided it as an alternative means of navigating the site, click here to access it. We've also used screenreader friendly CAPTCHAs (those annoying tests to check that you are really a human) on our feedback forms. If you would like to check our accessibility rating then please see what the WAVE tool has to say about this site - though nothing beats real feedback from humans!
Dedicated to Giancarlo Ramaioli 1959-2009
Activelink grew out of the Community Exchange mailing list, a project that Giancarlo Ramaioli founded in 1999, while he was a director of the Public Communications Centre (PCC). Giancarlo left the PCC in 2001 to become a director of Hyperlink and to launch his Activelink web site, which was the web-facet of Community Exchange.
Over time Giancarlo built Activelink into a premier resource for the non-profit sector, and the Community Exchange mailings became so large that they were split into two separate mailings, Activelink Community Exchange, and Activelink Jobs & Volunteering.
Giancarlo became ill in 2006, but remained at the helm of Activelink right up until April 2009. He passed away in May 2009.
Activelink is now managed by Giancarlo's colleagues from Hyperlink, and we strive to keep its ethos true to his vision.
