For new volunteers

After the initial training and completion of the E-portfolio and matching form, each Programme Executive will be matched to an appropriate third sector organisation that will have the opportunity to vet and interview the individuals.

This will ensure the right person is matched with the organisation and the individual will get experience at interview with constructive feedback from the interviewers.

Host organisations will offer up to three types of experience:

• Board Membership – subject to appropriate vetting with CRB and with companies house.  This will provide the board with a new member with management experience and a different insight to how to improve the management of the organisation.
  
  The individual would commit to being on the board for a minimum of 1 year so may stay as board member subsequent to leaving the programme and finding employment.
  
  
• Management Placement – up to 16 hours per week providing management support, possibly in a specialist field, to the host organisation.
  
  
• Specialist Project Assignment – the host organisation may have a specific project which would benefit from the experience of one of the programmes participants.  A project brief would be provided to onboard and appropriate individuals would put themselves forward for the opportunity. 

The placement would not affect the individual benefits and would be free to the host organisation, although we would ask that the host covers any expenses incurred by the individual.

A three way agreement will be drawn up between onboard, the individual and the host organisation to clearly specify the expectation and requirements of each party.
