We are looking for volunteers from 14+ to help at our activity days to be supportive to children and young people with additional support needs and have fun!
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. You can be linked on a 1:1 basis, or 2 volunteers to support 1 child. We also need general helpers who are not linked specifically but help with the smooth running of the session.
All applications are done via www.barnardos.org.uk and the children's activity support-group helper will be listed. All applicants will complete an induction process which may take up to 8 weeks, and this 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 age 14. The role will take place in Dundee and locations 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, Before the role starts you will recieve an email with dates/times/locations.
Being a 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 opportunities.
