Question:

Assignment task

Portfolio: Online journal and enhanced CV totalling 2500 words

You are required to write and upload a minimum of four journal entries which discuss different aspects of the volunteering experience you are undertaking during this module. Your journal entries must be written in an academic style, with in-text references and a reference list at the end.  You are expected to draw on academic theory, research and policy issues in relation to the sociology of organisations, sociology of volunteering, ethical issues and the demonstration of reflection in your journal entries.

Your journal entries should be written and uploaded at regular intervals during the assessment period.  It is acceptable to write in the first person for this assignment.  You are also required to develop your CV in line with your volunteering and upload an improved version of your CV attached to fourth journal entry.

The total word count for this assignment is 2500 words +/- 10%. Word count must be given at the end of each journal entry.

Your journal entries should refer to the following areas:

·Theoretical discussion of work, volunteering and organisations

·The nature of the organisation where you are volunteering – e.g. its history, aims and objectives, its relationship to other organisations in the health and social care sectors

·Why did you choose this particular organisation to volunteer – e.g. what research did you do on this organisation prior to contact, who did you contact in the organisation, did you have to attend an interview or meeting before you began volunteering, was there an induction procedure?

·The policies of the organisation – e.g. health and safety, equal opportunities, safeguarding

·Career progression and training opportunities within the organisation

·Your roles and duties within the organisation – what do you do in your volunteering role, a “typical” volunteering session, how long is each volunteering session and how frequently do you attend?

·Your relationships with managers, colleagues and service users as part of your volunteering role

·The gender and ethnic composition of your colleagues, other volunteers and service users

·Ethical issues relating to your volunteering role

·Legal frameworks relating to your volunteering role

·Reflection on your practice within the organisation - your experiences as a volunteer in the organisation, what skills are you acquiring, what skills would you like to learn, have there been experiences that you would handle differently next time, how is the volunteering role enhancing your employability skills?

·Your final  journal entry should attach an updated version of your CV which demonstrates how your skills have been enhanced by the experience of volunteering

IMPORTANT

The module leader must be provided with the details of your voluntary work, plus a contact name and email address.*

You should not name your managers, colleagues and service users but refer to them by pseudonyms to maintain their anonymity.  Your writing must be respectful and professional at all times.*

If your manager/colleagues are agreeable, you can upload photos of the setting where you volunteer – e.g. the building, reception/foyer, your work station, relevant signage, displays, kitchen area (N.B. you must not include in your photos anyone under the age of 18 or anyone who lacks capacity/cannot give consent.)*

Your journal entries will only be visible to the lecturer, moderator and external examiner.  Other students will not be able to see your journal entries.*
