Recruiting & Selecting Volunteer
· Start Date: 2nd February 2012, 10:00

This two day course (2 & 9 February 2012) is the recommended first step for people interested in developing their volunteer management practice.

The course looks at how to establish fair and consistent recruitment and selection processes and how to attract volunteers to your organisation. The key message is that getting the right volunteers from the start is one of the best ways of ensuring effective volunteer management in the future. Areas covered include:

· Establishing a recruitment procedure;

· Designing volunteer role descriptions;

· Marketing volunteer roles; and

· Meeting selection steps that are compliant with legislation and best practice

Participants will gain an understanding of how to do all this in a manner suitable to your volunteers and organisation.

2 and 9 February 2012
Fermanagh House, Broadmeadow Place, Enniskillen BT74 7HR (10.00 – 16.00)

The course is stand alone but links closely to ‘Managing and Motivating Volunteers’ which builds on the key topics covered. The courses are accredited with NOCN for 3 credits at level 2 so are an opportunity to gain a recognized 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.

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.

'Join the fight '
Cancer Research UK is at the forefront of breast cancer research, providing new treatment options and saving thousands of lives.

Your fundraising is vital. We’ve helped transform breast cancer treatment – now more than 8 in 10 women survive their disease beyond five years, compared with 5 in 10 women in the 1970s but there’s still so much to do. Our vital work, funded entirely by the public, will mean that many more people will survive.
