The allocation rota in RotaCentral is designed to streamline volunteer scheduling by automatically distributing shifts evenly among volunteers. By using this option, administrators can ensure fair rotation, so each volunteer has a balanced share of responsibilities, preventing over-scheduling or underutilizing certain individuals. In the context of event-specific allocations, this feature allows organisers to assign volunteers based on the unique demands of each event.

Meet Briony, one of our Special Constables! 👋 Briony has kindly answered some of our questions about her experience as a Special Constable to hopefully encourage others to join too. How long have you been a Special Constable? 💬 I’ve been a Special Constable for about 4 years. I joined during the pandemic in 2019! Why did you decide to become a Special Constable? 💬 I’ve always been one for helping people and since I moved to Stoke, I wanted to find a way to volunteer in a role where I could make a difference. When applications open during the first lockdown, I applied straight away. It’s a great way to make a difference in my community, help make Staffordshire safer and I get to gain new skills in an interesting environment. When you’re not volunteering with us, what do you do? 💬 I’m a retail manager in my day job, but when I’m not on duty I like to spend time with my husband, going out on my motorbike and gaming. 💬 How many hours a month do you usually volunteer as a Special Constable? I usually volunteer 16 hours a month, which is usually two eight hour shifts a month, so I can comfortably fit these hours in around my other commitments. If I have some spare time or there is an event happening, I’ll volunteer more but this job has the flexibility to do more if you can. How do you find fitting in your hours as a Special Constable around your other commitments? 💬 It’s really easy for me as I’ll plan thing in in advance like events. I’ll also do my hours on my days off and make sure I'm organised. You can become a Special Constable, like Briony, as we're recruiting.
