We want the best experience for our members and volunteers and so we take time during this process to ensure we have the right people in the right roles.  This means that signing up to volunteer at BRR can take a while.  However, we believe the reward is worth the time it takes.

Selection Process:  once the application deadline has passed, we will look through all the applications and make sure that applicants are suitable for the roles.  We will then shortlist successful applicants.  An informal interview will follow prior to attending the induction training.
