Welcome to another TeamKinetic Masterclass. This time we’re looking at safeguarding good practice in TeamKinetic, including managing manual and digital ID and background checks.

Safeguarding is a complex and tough subject, with no single strategy that works for everyone. Hopefully, this Masterclass will illustrate the tools and functions in TeamKinetic that can be incorporated into your safeguarding strategy.

We will start with manual background and identity checks which are the traditional methods, moving on to introduce our fully integrated, digital ID and background checks. No more in-person or post-office identification checks!

Background checks are just the start, there are many other tools and functions in TeamKinetic that can help.

We will also be taking a look at storing and distributing documents, data retention and data deletion, references, feedback, managing chat rooms and keeping accurate notes within TeamKinetic.

Introducing TeamKinetic: Isabella Turner – A New Chapter

Love for Marketing 

Studying Business Studies and Graphic communications at A-Level sparked my interest in marketing, I enjoyed both aspects of the subjects which then triggered my initial passion for marketing as I believed it was the perfect combination of the two. I thought marketing was the best-suited course for me to study at university and after just completing my second year at Manchester Metropolitan University I can confidently say it was the right choice. The course has included many modules, however, a favourite of mine included digital marketing as I loved getting stuck into creating mockup social media content on Canva for different brands. 

This particular module inspired me to create content for smaller businesses. In my home town, I knew of several small businesses that had been started in lockdown from home. I got in contact with some and asked if I could design material for them. This then led me to produce logos, digital menus, giveaway posts and more for a takeaway food business and an eyelash technician business. This experience allowed me to fall in love with producing marketing content and allowed me to explore my creativity skills.

Volunteering Experience 

I completed my first volunteering role during my bronze Duke of Edinburgh. For 6 months I helped out in a care home by serving food and drinks to the residents and cleaning around the home. I enjoyed listening to all the interesting stories the elderly had from different moments in their lives. Although my short volunteering experience mostly involved pouring tea, I did find my time overall there to be very rewarding. I felt valued by the residents and it was inspiring to see all the volunteers who had taken time out of their lives to help others.

Knowing TeamKinetic can make other volunteers feel just as motivated as I did, made this particular placement role stand out to me. TeamKinetic can help volunteers to find opportunities which can benefit them and enable them to have a rewarding feeling and sense of achievement. 

Hobbies

During the summer of 2021 I had a lot of spare time before starting my second year of university so I decided to create my own Jewellery. It started off as a hobby for myself as a bit of fun but then I got creative with it and produced some images of the pieces I had made. Once university started again in September I found myself busy with other activities which didn’t leave much time for me to continue making pieces. However, I do try to make time to design some Jewellery every so often as it’s very therapeutic and allows me to use my creative flair.

In The Future

I am looking forward to completing a year in industry working at TeamKinetic which will help me get the most out of my marketing course. On-the-job training that TeamKinetic offer will also provide me with new skills and gain confidence in areas I am not yet familiar with. TeamKinetic are a motivated team which I am excited to be a part of as they help make life easier for people who want to do good in the volunteering community.

TeamTalk: Season 1, Episode 5: Claire Troup talks all things MCRVIP!

By

On 21st June 2022

In Local Authority, News & Views, TeamTalk Podcast

Claire Troup has been Project Manager at Manchester City Council’s Volunteer Inspire Programme (MCRVIP) for just a short period of time; but that time has been used to inspire a whole city to get up and volunteer. In this week’s podcast, we’re joined by our first and longest client, Manchester City Council…

The Manchester Volunteer Inspire Programme focuses on helping volunteers find the opportunities that best fit them. It’s simple to get involved – register, create your own volunteer profile, and access a range of opportunities available to you – anyone can take part! If you’re in the Manchester area, and you’re interested in learning more, email: MCRVIP@manchester.gov.uk. 

TeamTalk! The TeamKinetic Podcast… 

Our podcast this week covers a range of topics. It opened our eyes to how those working with volunteers are revitalising the volunteer movement after the pandemic.

Claire noted that in her previous roles at Manchester City Council, she never noticed just how much volunteers do. If you’re not fully immersed in the volunteering world, it may go unnoticed. Volunteers do a massive amount of work and make a big impact in every organisation. For those like us, we see day to day the amount of hours volunteers put in; it never ceases to amaze us just what volunteers can do together- and the same goes for those managing them! 

It’s those volunteer managers (or for Claire, project managers) that are starting to see an uptake in the amount of opportunities popping up for those willing to volunteer. The pandemic saw volunteering in areas halt, and thrive in others. It’s only over the past few months Claire has found opportunities are on the rise. 

Our podcast takeaways

It’s great to hear (and see!) that volunteering is getting back to where it should be. Those millions who volunteered for the first time during the pandemic have stuck around, we hope, and are continuing to see results from their time and effort. It’s been a tough number of years, but it seems we’re on the up! 

Claire dished out some great advice on this podcast episode. But we’d like to highlight one that we think will be crucial for volunteering moving forward: developing a network of Volunteer Managers. For a number of months, Claire has been developing a network of volunteer managers across Manchester and it’s been really helpful. Being able to learn from others in the same boat as you, hear new ideas, and share stories on what you’ve been doing to motivate and reward your volunteers is something we’ve always strived for at TeamKinetic. It’s one of the many reasons why we partnered with the Association of Volunteer Managers.

Thanks to Claire for joining us! 

It was great to catch up with Claire and hear how she’s been adapting into her new (or not so new) role at Manchester VIP. We can’t wait to see the progression the Volunteer Inspire Programme can make to the city we reside in! You can find TeamTalk, and our latest episode with Claire on all your usual podcast sites. 

If you have any topic or guest requests- let us know! Contact us over on our socials,  send over an email (isabella@teamkinetic.co.uk) or contact us over on our website.
