Duty Rota Sheet

A free printable duty rota — dates down the side, your own jobs across the top, and a column for swaps agreed.

First page of the Duty Rota Sheet — Publish a volunteer rota far enough ahead that people can swap, with the swap recorded on the sheet.

What this sheet is for

Publish a volunteer rota far enough ahead that people can swap, with the swap recorded on the sheet.

Who it is for

Churches, village halls, sports clubs, scout groups, community cafés and any organisation running on volunteers.

How to use it

  1. Write the jobs into the column headings yourself.
  2. Publish several weeks ahead — people need notice to swap.
  3. Put the swap rule and a contact on the sheet.
  4. Record swaps in the last column, agreed by both people.
  5. Pin it up and keep a copy where the rota is maintained.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Who is doing which job on which date, filled in far enough ahead that people can swap.

Make swapping easy and write it on the sheet. Volunteer rotas fail at the swap. Put the swap rule and a contact on the sheet, and the person who cannot make it has somewhere to go other than not turning up.
