Types of service

The services in this directory have been divided broadly into four types and are listed under each heading. All of the organisations provide different services so look carefully at the criteria listed before contacting the organisation.

Introduction service

These organisations tend to provide a simple service providing a list of individuals who are interested in trusteeship and it is up to you to interview candidates and select them. They often also provide information and training for organisations and individuals.

Placement service

In these organisations the level of involvement is quite detailed. Placement services tend to provide introductory courses, get involved in the interview process, match trustees to organisations and undertake induction programmes and ongoing support. These services can range from local volunteer bureaux to national trustee placement schemes.

Recruitment service

These organisations tend to provide a comprehensive recruitment service, operated generally from the private sector. Their level of involvement can be as detailed as is required, for example from a 'headhunting process' to consultancy and advice on advertising.

Online service

This is a new form of recruitment. Increasingly, trustee opportunities are being publicised on the internet. Some are a means for individuals to more easily find out about vacancies; others are a way of encouraging employee volunteering. There are proposals to develop more online brokerage services for trustees so watch this space.
