Coming into ZZZ ATIS was reporting ILS XXL.  As we checked into the final Controller; we were assigned VOR XXL. We quickly; but thoroughly re-briefed the new assignment.   As we came in; we were white needles and given a vector and altitude to intercept. The FO was flying pilot and was having trouble with selecting vertical speed and then we became high on the approach.  After it became time sensitive; I said that we have the runway and PAPIs in sight; so we should get rid of the automation and shoot the visual. We stayed a little high and then assertively descended to meet up with the glide path.  At this point I was trying to get switched over from approach to Tower so we can get landing clearance. We were in the last second of stabilizing at the 1;000 alert. Unfortunately; the flight spoilers were still out beyond our company 1;000 feet limitation.The cause of this occurrence is multi-fold.  The FO has three flight hours after IOE and those were his only hours in the last seven weeks.  He stated this at the beginning of the trip. This was his first flying leg flight. The change in the approach also contributed to the complexity as well as not getting landing clearance. On top of that; the VS button required mashing and multiple attempts to get it pressed and engaged. Unfortunately the flying situation during the pandemic is affecting both the currency of the pilot group as well as the performance of the controllers.  Flying currency is the solution.
After setting up and briefing the ILS XXL approach while on the arrival; ATC contacted us and told us to expect the VOR XXL approach. The Captain and I set up the new approach in the FMS and I briefed the new approach. We were vectored in close to the final approach fix and I was still trying to slow the aircraft. Once cleared for the approach I put the autopilot in nav mode and once established Short of the FAF I put the aircraft in VS mode; once selecting VS mode the FMA showed pitch mode and didn't start a descent. Noticing I was not descending the Captain said I was high and I disconnected the autopilot and started to hand fly the approach visually; while trying to stay on the visual decent and align with the runway I exceeded the stable approach criteria. Also after getting the airplane back stabilized on the approach we both noticed I had left the flight spoiler partially deployed.The cause of the unstable approach was caused by several factors; I believe task saturation with the last minute change of the approach and the autopilot entering pitch mode instead of VS was a contributing factor as well as my lack of recent flying experience due to the pandemic. This was my second flight after the completion of IOE. Overall; I think flying more often would help with making mistakes and getting task saturated.
Air carrier flight crew reported an unstabilized approach; citing FO's lack of flying and a late change by Approach Control as contributing factors.
