Interested in being a volunteer?
So you want to volunteer, but you’re not sure what you could do? We’ve got a quiz for that!
If you have decided, this is how the process of becoming a volunteer works:
First complete the online application form, or to send us some details if you want to chat a little more about the role first.
We will then get in touch with you to explain a bit more about the role, and if it’s still suitable, look to invite you to an Assessment – this is not as formal as a job interview and it is not a competitive process. The intention is to check that the role is the right one for you, and if not to try to find one that is.
For certain roles, for example, visiting vulnerable clients at home, we would ask for successful candidates to be screened by the criminal records disclosure services, but a criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to your being able to take up the voluntary post.
Once a decision has been made we will follow up with the references you have supplied. Assuming that these are satisfactory, you will be ready to start your training
