Local Induction
Our Role as the Volunteer Service Team: We are dedicated to finding you the best volunteers for the roles you will create. We will support you throughout the process and carry out the majority of the volunteer on-boarding administration.
We go through a rigorous process including:
- Advertising the role
- Processing applications
- Interviewing
- Selecting potential candidates
- DBS checks
- Corporate inductions (H&S, expenses, code of conduct, etc)
- Mandatory E-learning training (GDPR, safeguarding, etc)
- Timetable creation
- Final interviews
- Personal development
Local Induction: Once the Volunteer Service team has completed our on-boarding stages, we then ask that you complete a local induction. This will only take a few hours and we can support you through this, if need be.
This is what needs to be included in the induction. The Volunteers need to:
- Learn about your department
- Be made aware of ward/service particularities
- Be informed on how to carry out their duties
- Understand why their duties are important
- Be informed of all health and safety protocols
- Be made aware of accident reporting policies and processes
- Have any additional special training covered, if necessary
- Be aware of how to report an absence
- Be introduced to the whole team
It is also necessary for volunteers to meet their on site supervisor and be aware of who they must report to when they are volunteering for your team. Any queries they may have, or any issues that could occur, the on site supervisor can attended to immediately.
The volunteer service will also provide a supervisor on our side to ensure volunteers are comfortable within their roles and any other support they may need.
