Course content

This is an introductory level course

The recruitment, management and care of volunteers is a fundamental part of ensuring that the front line services are delivered effectively. Volunteers add a richness and diversity at all levels of the organisation and so taking care of them well is an obvious choice. 

Following on from our previous taster session; The Volunteer Management Cycle, we will now look at the basics of recruiting and selecting volunteers. Specifically, we will look at:

• The volunteer management cycle

• Preparing for recruitment

• Making a compelling case

• Advertising vacancies affectively to a diverse audience

• Shortlisting and saying “no”

• Selection procedures

• What comes next

This course  is suitable for anyone and does not require prior knowledge.
