Like volunteers, give assistance after UN pressure (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unpaid

'like volunteers' is the definition.

'assistance after un pressure' is the wordplay.
'assistance' becomes 'aid' ('aid' can be a synonym of 'assistance').
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'un'+'p'='unp'
'aid' put after 'unp' is 'UNPAID'.

'give' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for unpaid that I've seen before include "Outstanding, owing" , "Overdue" , "Still owing" , "Without wages" , "Not give wages" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
