Recruitment - Internal candidates

Sample Wording

Volunteers who wish to transfer from one program to another (or one position to another) must be referred to the administrator of volunteer resources to ensure that all applicable screening measures are completed prior to starting in a new position

Why?

It can be tempting to just transfer a volunteer, especially when everyone knows the person. Always evaluate your positions to determine what the screening steps are required for each position.

If screening levels vary then volunteers who transfer must always be screened accordingly prior to starting.

Key issues/procedures

Consider whether staff, clients or relatives of staff or clients can volunteer

What screening policies should be in place for internal candidates when transferring from a low risk position to a higher risk position?

Ensure that other staff are aware of these procedures if they refer a volunteer to another position
