Course aims
A 10-hour blended learning programme for line managers, where a part of their work is managing volunteers.
This is a pioneering programme approved by the Institute of Leadership and Management, which focuses on the needs of line managers rather than volunteer co-ordinators.
Content
Enables line managers to understand how volunteer management relates to their role, and how best to engage volunteers. The workshop and supporting activities will encourage learners to consider supporting volunteers, preparing and planning tasks, recognising their contribution and managing any problems.
How it is delivered
Workshop: A one-day workshop is delivered in via Zoom.
Distance learning workbook: Following the workshop, each learner is provided with an interactive workbook, where they can reflect on the workshop discussions, and relate these to the general frameworks for managing volunteers. The workbook encourages the learner to identify how they could develop their own thinking and management practice as a result.
Professional discussion: Each learner then submits a reflective account, to their programme facilitator, who then arranges a 1-1 professional discussion with the learner. This discussion will last around 30 minutes, and will take the structure of a coaching conversation.
ILM Approval: This course has Development Programme status with the Institute of Leadership and Management
Cost
£245* per person
