Managing Volunteer Agreements: During this short session we will learn and describe what the key differences are between an employee and a volunteer, and look in detail at good practice in the recruitment process for volunteers, including good practice when developing volunteer agreements.
Supervise and Support volunteers: This session will describe how you can provide effective support to volunteers, develop their skills, motivate them, celebrate achievements and communicate feedback.
Assignment support session (delivered by NICVA): This session will outline the assignments to achieve the ILM qualification and allow time for discussion and prepare you to complete the assignments.
