Tender Brief for an updated Council for British Archaeology Volunteer Policy
Are you ready for your next challenge?
The Council for British Archaeology is seeking a consultant to review and update our Volunteer Policy, associated documents, and supporting guidance so they better reflect the full range of volunteering, placement, and internship opportunities across the organisation.
Project Overview
To ensure the CBA meets its commitment to support our volunteers, we require an updated/new volunteer policy.
In addition, supporting documents will also need to be reviewed and updated. We currently have the following additional documents in use:
- Volunteer Personal Details Form
- Volunteer Induction Checklist
- Volunteer Agreement
We anticipate that, prior to development, the successful consultant will undertake consultation with the CBA Executive Team to assess the need and scope of the work to cover all activity.
We expect that a draft version of the policy and associated documents will be reviewed by a small cohort of CBA staff and Trustees to provide feedback prior to it being finalised. Upon completion of the new policy, the successful consultant will provide a briefing session to familiarise CBA staff (and possibly Trustees) with the document and answer any outstanding questions.
At the end of the process, the consultant will be required to provide CBA management with recommendations for any actions needed to ensure that the CBA is compliant with the new policy guidance. This should include suggested updates to associated CBA policies if needed.
The following outputs should be delivered by the consultants:
The following outputs will be required from the successful consultant:
- Work in partnership with CBA staff and trustees to develop a methodology and detailed timescale to implement the projects outputs to time and budget.

- Undertake a review of: The current volunteer policy and associated documents; Other relevant policies to understand the current provision; The volunteer, placement and intern audit.
