Managing volunteers is very different from managing staff and requires a different approach. This course examines these differences and provides guidance focusing on:
- Volunteer motivation;
- Support and supervision;
- Policy and procedure;
- Addressing management issues; and
- The law in relation to volunteering.
It provides the key skills and knowledge for development as a volunteer management specialist and to inform how an effective and supportive volunteer programme should be structured.
The course is stand alone but links closely to Recruiting & Selecting Volunteers and builds on the key topics covered. Both courses are accredited with NOCN for 3 credits at Level 2 so are an opportunity to gain a recognised management qualification.
This FREE course is currently being funded through the Building Change Trust. Places are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis.
Times: 10.00am - 4.00pm
Dates: 14 & 21 February 2012

N.B. Waiting lists are commonplace for these courses. Previous short notice cancellations (or just not turning up on the day) have resulted in valuable course places being wasted. A £20 cancellation fee per course place will therefore be levied for non-attendance or for cancellations less than one week prior to the course start date. A maximum of two places per organisation can be booked on each course.
