Castleknock Celtic Football Club Volunteer Recruitment Policy
Castleknock Celtic Football Club’s (hereinafter called “the club”) existence depends on the
voluntary effort of all its volunteers. Volunteers are the driving force of the club and without
volunteers the club would not be in a position to offer football opportunities in our community.
It is important that the club provides a healthy environment for volunteers and recruits the
right people for the right job.
The following recruitment steps, as adopted by the CCFC Executive Committee, will help to
protect young people and assist in placing volunteers in a position to which they are suited
and supported.

that will include a set of tasks and a time commitment. The volunteer role will be published
through the club’s communication channels.
2. Application form – A brief application form will be provided for all applicants. This ensures
the relevant information is collected and that all interested parties are treated fairly.
3. Interview – The applicants will sit through an interview meeting with at least two members
of the Committee.

before the commencement of any role.
