Next steps?

- We will ping across your interest to the relevant Volunteer Supervisor for the role you would like to volunteer in
- The Volunteer Supervisor will then invite you to the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust for a chat about the role... Don't worry, this isn't a formal interview, but a chance to meet some of the team and find out a little more about the role so you can make sure that it is right for you
- If you change your mind, or fancy trying a different role, then no problem! Just let us know and we will find something that suits your skills and interests
- When you and the Volunteer Supervisor are both happy to proceed, then we will set you up as a volunteer! NB we may ask you to complete a DBS check if it's appropriate to the duties/role that you'll be undertaking
