Volunteer Registration
Working as a volunteer is a very
rewarding facet of a veterinary career. It offers great opportunities
to utilise ones skills in a way that truly benefits animals and
communities in need. It also leads to the building of personal
relationships and contributes to improved cooperation and understanding
– needed in this world now more than ever.
Registration process
Registration is free of charge and is necessary prior to
participating on a Vets Beyond Borders project. The nature of the
questions is to try and help us understand your experience and
expectations so that you can gain an appropriate work placement.
The on-line registration process consists of two sections:
provisional and full registration
- You do not have to complete both sections in one sitting
but it is preferred
- Filling out the registration and questionnaire forms
generally takes 20 minutes.
1st Section: Provisional
- This first section consists of your personal, professional
and contact details plus contact details of 2 referees including their
email addresses. You will need to have your veterinary governing body
registration number on hand.
- It is of utmost importance that you provide the correct,
current, working email address of your referees. It is recommended that
you also contact them yourself to inform them that they will be sent an
email from Vets Beyond Borders that they need to open and respond to.
Depending on their email settings sometimes our emails go to the
“bulk” inbox or “trash”, they
may need to look there.
- To ensure timely processing please ensure that both your
referee's respond to our email.
- Once the first section is completed, you can continue to
the second section immediately or return at a later time via a link
which will be emailed to you.
2nd Section: Full Registration
- The second section consists of questionnaire forms. The
answers you provide here will help us determine if you are suitable for
a current project placement.
- We will contact you again once your details and references
have been reviewed. Please ensure that your referees receive and
respond to our email. The process will then take 2-4 weeks. Remember
that it is being performed by volunteers so please be patient and
courteous.
- Finally, thank you for registering as a Vets Beyond Borders
volunteer. We are encouraged by our volunteers enthusiasm and look
forward to working with you sometime!
