Responsibilities of volunteers

This is important and very sensitive work, and so volunteering at the Men's Referral Service brings its own special set of responsibilities. Volunteers need to:

  • support our organisation’s philosophy
  • adhere to our policies, procedures and minimum standards
  • be punctual and reliable
  • attend for their work in a physical and emotional state whereby they are able to provide appropriate and effective services, and not attend under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • maintain communication with staff and management, and in particular, read all information sent to them by the service
  • share skills, information and resources within the organisation when appropriate
  • ensure that service users are not solicited for personal gain of any kind 
  • promote nonviolence in their own life and advocate for nonviolence within the general community.
