If you are a part-time volunteer we are aware that you are probably helping us on top of your already busy life. We have noted the days that you prefer to work from your application form but it is completely up to you when you work during the week. However, it is helpful if you can log into your email address very regularly to avoid emails going unanswered. We ideally prefer a 24-hour turn around for emails.

We believe volunteering should bring benefits to both parties. We are very keen to help Volunteers progress by changing roles. This allows you to gain insights into different job roles, and bolster your C.V.

We would however encourage a minimum of 6 months doing one role to get the most out of it. We would then time it so that you switch roles once the project you are on is complete and we have found someone to replace you.

If, however, you want to increase the number of hours you are volunteering, we would happily get you working on a second project or a different role in tandem with your original role.

This may fluctuate depending on what is going on in your life but it helps to keep momentum and enthusiasm going if you commit to a minimum number of hours each week.

We try to agree what hours you feel comfortable committing during your induction stage and we encourage you to think carefully about this. We don’t want you overcommitting and feeling stressed that you cannot fit everything in or disappointed that you have failed to do something. We really want you to enjoy your time with Verify Humanity.

If you have a visa that only allows a certain amount of volunteering, it is of course your responsibility to ensure that you do not go over those hours. Please keep us informed on a regular basis of your hours so we can help you do this.

You may of course just be volunteering for a one-off project. eg: writing an article or doing some art work for some publicity.
