There are five steps to volunteering with
sported.:
1. Complete the online application form, selecting Mentor or
Expert at the top of the form. Or both if you're flexible!
2. If your online application form meets the criteria for
the role you're interested in, our Regional Manager for your region
of the UK will contact you for an initial interview over the phone
or in person. They will go over your application in more
detail with you and answer your questions. If you are both
happy that the role will suit you, they will take the details of a
referee they can contact.
3. On receipt of your reference the Regional Manager will
confirm whether or not you have been provisionally accepted onto
the sported. induction stage.
4. If you have been accepted, you will need to book onto
one of our induction sessions to get ready to start your role. Upon
completion of your induction session, the Regional Manager will
confirm whether or not you have been accepted onto the sported. team.
5. Once trained, we will keep you informed about projects
or pieces of work that seem to suit your knowledge, skills,
interests, location and availability. You will always have the
opportunity to say whether or not you want to take on the work, and
you should keep us informed of your availability so that we don't
contact you when you're busy. Matching volunteers to our Member
needs is a complicated and very important process, and is usually
undertaken quarterly, so there are likely to be periods when we
don't have any hands-on work for you. During these periods, if
you're willing, we may ask you to help us develop our national
processes, or consult with us on a 'How-to' guide in your area of
expertise, to go online for our Members to access.
