Volunteer- Loughborough Siblings and Young Carers
2 weeks ago
That's why Sense supports activities and sessions specifically for young people aged 5-18 who have a caring role for a parent, carer, or sibling.
We run a range of virtual and in person activities throughout the month.Our sessions are based on what the young people tell us they like doing, giving them a break, and also providing opportunities to meet and develop friendships with other young people in a similar situation.
Our Siblings and Young Carers in person activity group sessions take place once a month.Activities include picnics, bowling, arts and crafts and rock climbing, enabling the young people to spend time doing fun things with other siblings and young carers with similar experiences.
You do not need to have any previous experience working with siblings or young carers as we will provide you with training and ongoing support to equip you for your role.
About Sense
Sense is a national disability charity that supports people with complex communication needs and their families to be understood, connected, and valued.
We are here for every person who faces communication barriers in a world that relies on being able to see and hear well to be connected.
Will the role suit me?
Yes, if you have:
- Willingness to develop or learn new skills
- Reliability and good communication skills
- A sense of fun and adventure
- Respect for others and their diversity
- An interest in supporting the work of Sense and want to make a difference to people who have complex disabilities and are deafblind and their families
Practical Considerations
This project is based in Loughborough, either at our Sense College or out in the community. Our activity group runs once per month, for 3.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon. Ideally you would be able to commit to at least 6 months of volunteering.
An essential part of getting ready to volunteer is attending a training session where you'll learn more about your volunteer role, the specific needs of children and young carers and how to keep young people on the project safe.
You must be 18 or over to volunteer. We collect two references for this role as well as complete a Child and Adult Enhanced DBS.
