Managing & Motivating Volunteers - FREE course!

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.
