Refuel25

Welcome to the Team sign-up page where you can volunteer to be part of the Refuel Team. It takes an army of willing volunteers giving their gifts and skills to make the event happen. Thank you for considering volunteering in either a full-time or part-time capacity.  We give a big warm welcome to those team members who have served before and a big warm welcome if you are new to the Refuel team.

We have an amazing range of teams where you can get equipped, learn new skills, serve others and discover the blessing of serving others. You can choose which team you would like to join.

There are a few things that you need to know about how the various teams operate. Each team has a leader who organises the work to be done and schedules a rota for their team.  The teams are dynamic, there are lots of regular jobs to be done each day but there are times when the team reacts to events that occur elsewhere. It is important that our team can react positively and can handle changes as they happen. Our priority is for everyone to be safe and have a good time and it is the "cando" attitude and ability of our teams that make this happen.

Whilst serving on team can take a lot of your time, you are free to attend any of the seminars, celebrations and evening entertainment on offer, when not "on duty".

There are daily briefings for team members and your team leader will let you know when you need to attend.

Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVGS) - As part of the online form, you will read our PVG Policy, which is about safeguarding the welfare of the vulnerable at the REFUEL events. You will be asked to indicate that you've read, understood, and will adhere to the terms of this policy.

References - You will be asked to supply the name of a referee from one of the following - a senior church leader/minister/pastor, a senior home church leader/pastor, or a senior leader in a ministry organisation in which you are a part of. We will email them directly and ask them general questions regarding your suitability to perform the role applied for.

We do this via a quick online form or we can contact them by telephone. Please note that a parent or relative cannot act as a referee. We may accept other references in certain circumstances so please contact us if you need further information.

PVG Checks - All team members who apply for a role that involves regulated activity with persons under 18 years or vulnerable adults are required to have a REFUEL specific PVG check. We will help you to obtain a PVG check. When completing your application form to be on the team, if you are already a member of the PVG Scheme please supply your membership number so we can undertake our own checks.
