VOLUNTEER SUPPORT
In order for your volunteers to continue to volunteer within your club / organisation, they must find the whole experience enjoyable, so how do you keep volunteers interested once they have started? Listed below are a few suggestions: |
| | Support & Supervision Regular opportunities for support and supervision are important and can help to identify overload and burnout, which may result in volunteers leaving the club. It is also important that volunteers receive regular feedback on the effectiveness of their work so that any issues can be dealt with as they arise. |
| | Volunteer Policy Provide a clear volunteer policy stating how your club will support its volunteers, detailing how expenses can be claimed. |
| | Training There are a number of external training courses that currently exist for volunteers. Volunteers should be provided with all the training they need in order to carry out their role. Please ensure that any training offered is relevant to the role / tasks that the volunteer undertakes within the club. If training is offered to a volunteer that is not relevant, it can be deemed as a payment for the work they have done, therefore creating a contract of employment. If training is offered, please ensure that it is open to all volunteers and that it is not dependent upon them having volunteered for a set period of time. |
