Maidstone | Hybrid | Voluntary
Permanent | Part-time / Volunteer | IK2403
Involve’s Connect Service is funded by Kent County Council’s Short Breaks scheme. The purpose is for young people aged 11-18 with Autistic Spectrum Conditions to have a space to meet and build friendships with other young people in an autism-friendly environment. The aim is for young people to build their confidence, independence, and life skills in a safe space.
As a volunteer, you would provide valuable support to the young people at activities which have previously included pizza making, arts and crafts, kayaking, archery and bushcraft as well as a regular group that meets and plays board games and Lego. It would not be necessary to join every activity, but regularly enough for the young people to build relationships and trust with you in the group.
Duties would involve supporting the Youth Programme Coordinator to get the young people settled at the beginning of the session and making drinks for parents and young people. You may also be encouraging young people who are feeling anxious to participate in activities by being a source of support to them and making them feel more comfortable. Most importantly, you will support the group to stay safe and comfortable while trying new experiences.
**Districts/ areas the role is available in: Maidstone, Tonbridge & Malling**
**Skills that the volunteer may need**: Good listening and communication. Previous experience of working with young people is desirable but not essential.
**What can the volunteer gain from this opportunity**: Experience working with children and young people with additional needs. A sense of pride in watching young people build their confidence and try new things. And, of course, lots of fun
The JobsBoard supports **Involve Kent **with free advertising for their vacancies.
Every year, our support helps large and small charities to find the people they need to continue their good work. Be part of making a difference.
