Becoming a volunteer
We value our volunteers and invest in them. We would not expect a volunteer to do a role without them being prepared for that role, so we have some preparation for our teams.
To become a volunteer, there would be four basic steps to complete, in any order:
-
Register
-
Safeguard
-
Face2Face
-
Preparation
Click on the team volunteer box above to complete the registration form above.
Next steps...
Each team has it's own preparation to complete, and your Line Manager will ensure you are prepared. There may be shadowing or observing to do, or some information to read, or both; they will explain this in your Face to Face meeting.
It is expected that all our teams work within the charity's aims and values, and our volunteers understand our Volunteer Code, please be familiar with these.
Also, all our teams have further information on our Team CTST page, including policies, forms and links.
