Build safe, inclusive and effective volunteer programmes with best practice in recruitment, selection, vetting and induction.

Are you a volunteer supervisor, manager or coordinator in Cardiff? Want to know how to effectively and safely recruit, select and induct volunteers? This training course is for you!

Volunteers are at the heart of many third sector organisations, but effective recruitment and onboarding require more than filling vacancies. This practical training will help you build safe, inclusive and sustainable volunteer programmes that attract, select and support the right people into the right roles. ​

By the end of the course, you will:

Understand the purpose and nature of volunteer recruitment and volunteer induction

Recognise ways volunteering can be made more accessible to all

Be familiar with methods to recruit a diversity of volunteers

Recognise selection as a two-way process and be familiar with a range of selection tools

Understand the use and limitations of DBS checks

Understand how to make every volunteer feel welcomed

Date: Tuesday 8th December 2026

Time: 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm
