Short Breaks Volunteer

This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

Are you a creative, friendly, open-minded person who wants to gain experience working with Children? Caudwell Children are looking for volunteers to help with our Short Break Activity Sessions!

These sessions enable disabled children to access fun, inspirational and challenging leisure activities that build life skills and promote independence whilst providing carers with vital short break respite.

With our support, disabled children and young people get to explore their interests, talents and develop vital life skills. Short break activities build future hopes and aspirations and provide children with the confidence to achieve their full potential.

Volunteer Responsibilities include:

  • Assist Caudwell Children staff member(s) in running the short break activity sessions
  • Help to ensure all children are safe during the activity sessions
  • Support staff members with planned activities
  • Participate in setting up an activity and helping with the set down
  • Communicate and work with the children to ensure they have fun

 

This role takes place on weekends only. We suggest a minimum commitment of 6 months for this role – full training and support will be provided.

Over 18’s only can apply for this role.
