- help facilitate arts and crafts, quizzes, bingo and/or other games and activities
- encourage independence and social skills amongst service users
- assist in the provision of refreshments

We are on the lookout for Training Support Volunteers to assist our Impact Project Manager, Dominic Box, in planning and running a wide range of life-skills workshops and/or acting as support to the individuals attending such events. More information about our Impact Projects can be found here.
Job role:

Volunteers receive initial induction and awareness training for working with learning disabled and autistic adults, as well as ongoing training and support throughout their time with us.


There are also opportunities for socialising with other volunteers and staff members throughout the year.
