We are looking for over 55's to bring valuable life experience to our group work roles.
At the Dundee Child and Family Support Service we run school holiday activity days in Dundee which normally run Monday-Friday during the day and for around 5 hours per session. This group supports children and young people (ages 4-14 approx.) who have additional support needs. Volunteers help the children and young people to have fun and engage in various activities such as playing games, arts and crafts and going to local parks across Dundee. Volunteers can be linked on a 1:1 basis or 2 volunteers to support 1 child or a general helper though not linked specifically will help with the smooth running of the session. Whilst we are keen to recruit over 55's we welcome all volunteers aged 14+.
All applications are done via www.barnardos.org.uk and the children's activity support-group helper will be listed. All applicants to complete an induction process which may take up to 8 weeks and includes induction meetings, reference checks, PVG Disclosure Check and induction training. Full support is provided by the volunteer coordinator. No PVG Disclosure is required if 14 or 15,
For the group work role applicants can apply from 14. The role will take place in Dundee but locations will vary depending on where the activity days are going to be based. Volunteers can pick and choose how many sessions they would like to do over the school holidays, Prior to the role starting an email will be sent by the volunteer coordinator with dates/times/locations.
Driver is not essential to this role.
At the Dundee service when other opportunities become available for additional groups the Volunteer Coordinator will offer these additional opportunities.
