FAQ

Why are we using a selection process rather than elections?

This is an initiative from the Executive Committee, for the following reasons:

• We believe this is the fairest way to recruit new members for the Executive Committee.
• Warwick Volunteers isn’t a student society, we don’t have to run elections to recruit the Exec.
• Being part of an Exec is a great experience, which you can add onto your CV. As Warwick Volunteers is part of Student Opportunity, it made sense to make the recruitment something volunteers could learn from too!
• A recruitment process gives the opportunity for all applicants to receive feedback if they wish.

How is the process different from elections?

The general process for applicants isn’t much different: volunteers will put in their application what they would put in their manifesto. The informal interview will be a chance for candidates, current Exec and member of the staff to meet and get to know each other, and see what could be a good fit.

Do I need to be a member of Warwick Volunteers to apply?

Yes. You will need to be a member of Warwick Volunteers. We are looking for people who have previously volunteered with Warwick Volunteers and are passionate about encouraging and supporting others to volunteer.

Can I apply if I am on a year abroad?

Yes. If you are on a year abroad this year but will be back by the start of the new academic year then you can still apply.
