Guide: National Occupational Standards for Volunteer Managers

“Many people in the UK are involved in the development and implementation of the volunteering strategy within their organisation. These NOS define the whole spectrum of activities required to achieve this effectively.
These standards are for you if you perform, manage or support any of this work, whether it is the focus of your working remit or just a small part of it. It may be a role you do as a volunteer or as part of your paid work. Whatever the circumstances, you should find these standards relevant. They have been designed primarily for those working in the voluntary and community sector (VCS) but they should also be appropriate if you work in the public sector, such as in a hospital or school.”
