Availability for projects, including in-person deployments • MapAction expects a high level of commitment by volunteers to make themselves available to deliver projects, whether these projects are planned or emergency missions, remote or in-person, one-off tasks or longer term commitments., • Deployable volunteers are expected to seek a commitment from their employer (if applicable) to permit time off (paid or not) for deployments when necessary., • For emergency deployable volunteers, there must be arrangements in place for a quick decision to be taken on availability, including agreement from employers/family if required, in the event of all alerts. This should normally be within 12 hours of the issue of the alert, depending on time-zone., • For non-emergency deployments and projects logged on the tasking grid, volunteers must respond to a request for assistance (whether yes or no) by the deadline specified on the grid., • Volunteers are expected to put themselves forward for at least three substantive (i.e. at least two days work) tasks every year, and are normally expected to contribute at least 10 days of voluntary effort (excluding training) to MapAction every year., • It is the duty of all volunteers to do their best to make themselves available for any opportunity relevant to their volunteer role, and avoid perceptions of volunteers selecting only more ‘attractive’ tasks or missions. It is essential that MapAction is able to deliver on all tasks it commits to, and it relies on volunteers to be prepared to step up for a wide range of activities. As a member of the team, you will be expected to participate in at least 6 internal weekend training events. This must include our annual simulation exercise, which all volunteers are required to attend. Other weekend training events include 6 annual training weekends where we get together in person at various locations around the UK, and 4 online development days. Volunteers should live either within the UK or within reasonably easy and affordable reach of the UK in order to be able to attend face to face training events.
