Becoming a Volunteer
In Cardiff Mind we have two types of Volunteer. People who volunteer as Trustees and people who want to have a more direct involvement with Service Users by assisting us to provide services.
Trustees are also Directors of the Company and will need to be deemed fit and suitable people to hold office by Companies House and also the Charity Commission. They are invited to have a meeting with the Chief Executive to discuss the organisation and the role of a Trustee and, if they wish to pursue their application, they will be given a Trustee Briefing Pack and invited to attend a Management Committee meeting to get a flavour of how things work before being invited to join.
The selection process for volunteers who wish to assist us to provide services is based on the skills and interests of the volunteer and the current needs of Cardiff Mind. It involves an interview, receipt of satisfactory references and a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
Volunteer Agreement
Cardiff Mind is committed to good practice in volunteering and so we have drafted a Volunteer Agreement which summarises the mutual expectations between Cardiff Mind and our volunteers – including how we can support you and outlining your responsibilities to Cardiff Mind.
Our Principles
- We will provide appropriate induction, training and support
- We are committed to valuing diversity in relation to the recruitment, selection and involvement of volunteers
- Volunteers’ contributions will be valued and they will be treated with respect
- We will actively seek volunteers’ views on team and organisational issues
If you meet the criteria outlined above and would like to volunteer for Cardiff Mind, please get in touch HERE
We often have opportunities for people to volunteer as part of Cardiff Mind’s Day Services team. Volunteers represent a vital part of the team at Cardiff Mind and in return Cardiff Mind can offer various training and the chance for volunteers to gain fantastic experience in supporting our clients to better understand their mental health and improve their wellbeing.
To get the most out of volunteering with us we ask that you are available for 1 day per week (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday) for a minimum of 14 weeks.
