Working alongside voluntary organisations we promote good practice in working with volunteers, advocate the rights and responsibilities of volunteers and are available to discuss any topics relating to volunteering, covering such issues as insurance, expenses and volunteer policies.
We can also assist you in developing new volunteering opportunities. If you have not worked with volunteers before, or would like help in identifying and developing volunteer roles and opportunities, we can advise and support you with
- role descriptions
- person specifications
- volunteer recruitment
- what to expect from a referral from us
- how to welcome potential volunteers
- interview and selection procedures
Why register with the Volunteer Centre?
We interview many potential volunteers, from people looking for work to the newly retired and all those in between. By registering with the Volunteer Centre we will ensure that you hear about all potential volunteers who might suit your organisation. You will also be kept informed of training events, recruitment for volunteer opportunities and access to advertise your vacancies on the website www.do-it.org
Registering your organisation is easy. Contact Lorraine Lambert New Forest Volunteer Centre Co-ordinator on Tel: 01425 482773 or Email [email protected]
We are happy to visit you to find out more about your organisation and how we can help. If you have any current volunteering opportunities then please see links below for registration forms.
