What will I be doing?
- Our Youth Club helps young people with complex medical needs and/or special educational needs to build confidence and develop independence and life skills. Youth Club Volunteers assist the Activities Lead to deliver our youth club for these young people and their siblings.
- Assist with various sports and leisure activities (e.g. table tennis, bowling, climbing), supporting the young people attending the club to participate. Work with young people 1:1 or in small groups. Help set up and clear away at the beginning and end of the sessions. Participate in a briefing and de-briefing session before and after the club to help evaluate the skills, strengths and weaknesses of the young people after each session.
- Help with any special projects the young people would like to do.
- Attend initial training (half day) and attend a 2 hour supervision monthly.
- Liaise with the Activities Lead in case of questions/difficulties.
