Managing Volunteers
If you manage volunteers, want to improve your skills and gain a national qualification, then Project North East has the ideal programme for you.
Project North East (PNE) is the first centre in the North East to be accredited by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) to provide the “Management of Volunteers” qualification.
Supported by the Northern Rock Foundation, the programme will enable managers to recruit, support and manage their volunteers more effectively, and will provide the skills to evaluate the contribution of volunteers to the organisation’s goals. The programme will also help managers implement best practice to inspire those who give their time freely. There is also the opportunity to achieve an NVQ qualification at level 3, 4 or 5.
“Volunteers are the lifeblood of the third sector, and often have different motivations to employees. Improving the way they are managed will enable volunteers to achieve their personal goals whilst allowing them to enhance the difference they can make to their organisations and service users. Project North East is meeting an important gap in training, which will enable managers of volunteers to implement best practice so that their volunteers reach their full potential.”
Anne Burleigh, Deputy Director, Northern Rock Foundation
