Job descriptions and roles

It is important for all of your paid staff and volunteers to have clearly defined roles. To distinguish between paid staff and volunteers we suggest you provide job descriptions for paid workers and job roles for your volunteers. 

These templates may not be perfect for your schools needs, but they are the building blocks on which you can build. All documents are in Word format so that you can adapt them to your needs. You will need to be logged in to download all the files on this page.

These downloads are samples, which will need to be adapted to suit the needs of your school.
