The ex-PM has shied from the spotlight since signing off from his Witney constituency
DAVID Cameron has taken on his first new job since sensationally quitting the Commons last month.
The ex-PM has signed up for an unpaid role at the National Citizens Service Trust — the charity that implements his Big Society flagship policy.
National Citizens Service sees 15 to 17 year olds take part in volunteering and social development bootcamps.
More than 200,000 schoolkids have taken part since it was launched in 2011.
When departing Downing Street for the last time in July, Mr Cameron heaped praise on the “fastest growing youth programme of its kind in the world, something that wasn’t there six years ago.”
