New Volunteer Recruitment Platform for Milton Keynes launches next week!

We are moving across to VC Connect

We would like to inform you of changes we will be making, as of 31st October. We will no longer be using http://www.do-it.org to advertise roles and recruit volunteers. We will be be going live with our new database VC Connect, a volunteer recruitment platform for Milton Keynes. Any roles that are currently live on http://www.do-it.org have been migrated from do-it to the new database.

This is a great way to promote your volunteering roles where local people can register their interest. We would encourage you to register by using this link.

Volunteer Connect enables you to:

Login and update your details
Advertise your roles
Manage & track volunteers who’ve registered interest in your roles
View their profile before inviting them to apply
Choose how you want prospective volunteers to contact you
Search our Volunteer Bank to find suitable volunteers
Keep track of all your roles, past and present

Registration is free. Once you have registered, you can add volunteer roles to your organisation profile. Within five working days we will check your registration details and contact you if further information is needed. This is to make sure that all organisations meet our criteria and our minimum quality standards. When you have been approved we will email you and your roles will go live on the website.

Prospective volunteers using Volunteer Connect can:

Sign up & create their profile – a quick & easy process
Edit their profile and preferences
Search for suitable volunteer roles
Login and see invitations from you to apply for positions
Get email updates on new roles

We will of course continue offering information information and advice via:

Weekly drop-in advice session: every Thursday 10 am -12 noon at Acorn House
1:1 appointments
Our monthly Bulletin which lists all the latest volunteer roles – this can be downloaded from our website or picked up as a paper copy from our office (coming soon!)

Data Protection:

The information we hold about your organisation and your roles will be kept on Community Action: MK’s database. Only role information and your contact details will be made publicly available via Volunteer Connect. You will enter and manage your own information on our system. Your data will be held on our secure servers. Community Action: MK will not share your data with anyone else without your permission.
