Leaving Well
If you wish to stop volunteering for whatever reason, we ask that you give us at least 2 weeks’ notice. This enables your team leader to make any necessary arrangements to cover your absence.
Staying Healthy & Refreshed
As you are not under any obligation to work for the Church, you are entitled to take as much or as little time off from volunteering as you choose. In order to help us organise our volunteers we would ask that you give your team leader at least two week’s notice if you no longer plan to volunteer on a day which you have previously indicated you would.
We Are Here To Support You
Your main point of contact during your volunteering with us is your team leader. You will also be supported by our Teams Director throughout your time volunteering at Glow.
Lifestyle Matters
The continuation of you being a volunteer at Glow is dependent on your lifestyle and testimony. The Church’s reputation is very important and we expect our volunteers to conduct themselves in a way which would not bring the Church into disrepute and not to make statements that would bring the Church into disrepute.
Health & Safety
We are under a duty to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare of all persons (including volunteers and members of the public) who are affected by our activities. You must take reasonable care for your own health and safety and that of other persons who may be affected by your volunteering by cooperating fully with the Church’s health and safety policy.
We Take Safegaurding Serious
You will not be able to carry out any volunteering activities with children and vulnerable adults until you have provided a copy of a DBS certificate to the Church. If you do not have such a certificate, you will be required to assist the Church by consenting to the Church carrying out a DBS Update Service check at any time. Until this process is completed, you will not be able to carry out any volunteering role which requires such a certificate.
Confidentiality Is Important
The nature of your role as a volunteer is such that you may be provided with information of a confidential nature relating to the Church. Volunteers must keep such information confidential and not use or disclose it except as authorised or as required in the course of volunteering. More details are given including our Data Protection Policy, upon application to join team.
Statement of Faith
What we believe is important too, as this gives context to much of our teams culture. You can read more about who we are and what we believe here...
