Volunteer recruitment

There are a number of ways we can help you to recruit volunteers to your organisation.

Volunteering Portal

Our volunteering portal, Get InVOLved Norfolk, is a great way to advertise your volunteer roles. Once you have signed up, you can post your roles on to the platform and volunteers can approach you directly if they are interested. You can also approach volunteers who have registered with the Volunteer Pool, if they meet your criteria, to see if they would be interested in applying.

You can find more information about registering on the portal.

Get InVOLved Norfolk is managed in partnership with Deedmob, an innovative Dutch start-up whose mission is to develop software that can empower everyone to contribute to a better world.

If you have any questions about using the Portal or how we can support you to recruit your volunteers please contact the Volunteering Team

Volunteering in Norfolk Facebook Group

Volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations are invited to join our Volunteering in Norfolk Facebook group. You are welcome to post your volunteer vacancies and also see if anyone is looking for a role that matches yours.

Volunteering News

Our monthly newsletter, Volunteering News, goes out to over 3500 individuals and organisations across Norfolk. Every month we feature volunteering opportunities and stories and highlight some of the roles advertised on the Volunteering Portal. Featuring a story from one of your volunteers can be a good way to encourage other people to consider a role with our organisation. If you would like to feature your role in Volunteering News, please contact us the Volunteering Team.

You can also have a look at some of our previous newsletters.

Managing your volunteers

Voluntary Norfolk has many years’ experience of managing volunteers on behalf of organisations including Norfolk County Council, Clinical Commissioning Groups and other healthcare providers.

Our Volunteer Services Team can help you recruit, train and deploy volunteers for roles in your organisation, advising on best practice and relevant legislation. Using specialist data management software we are able to record and monitor volunteer applications, progress, training and activity.

If you would like to discuss how we can help your organisation manage and make the most of your volunteers, please get in touch.

Further resources

Our Volunteering Team has been asked about a number of issues relating to volunteer management during the Covid-19 crisis, including keeping volunteers safe, and guidance on carrying our specific roles such as befriending.

We have compiled a summary of Volunteering Resources, Guidance & Advice that we hope you find helpful, but please contact us on volunteercentre@voluntarynorfolk.org.uk if you need information about a topic that isn’t covered here or if you would like find out more about a particular issue.
