Recruitment, induction and training
Recruitment and selection of volunteers
Volunteer role descriptions, application forms, policies and other documents are available on our website, or via partner volunteer organisations.
The role descriptions of officers with responsibility for recruiting and managing volunteers should incorporate the following statements:
- to help sustain and enhance volunteer activities taking a leadership role in developing and promoting new opportunities and roles for volunteers that support our volunteer engagement policy
- to contribute to the recruitment, selection, and supervision of volunteers

- information assurance
- health and safety
- safeguarding
- equality, diversity, and inclusion
