Interviews with volunteers should be informal and a two-sided conversation.
These suggested questions are to help you think about how best you and the volunteer can understand whether this would be the right role for them.
- Why are you interested in volunteering for this role?
- How can we help you get the most out of volunteering?
- Are there any aspects of the role which you might find challenging?
- Do you have any experience with [specific skill]?
- [Describe a scenario and ask them to share their suggested solutions]
- We’re looking for a volunteer who can give [detail the time commitment required].
How does that fit with your schedule and plans?
- [Ask them about any other practical details e.g. timings, location, equipment]
- We are here to support you. Please let us know either now or later any access or support needs you might have and how we can help you. This won’t impact on you being selected as a volunteer.
- Any questions for us?
