Volunteer with Adults with Learning Disabilities
5 months ago
At Whitmore Vale, we offer services to people with learning disabilities and we work alongside them to achieve the most out of their life. Through supported living and residential care we can meet a wide range of needs, supporting people with a mild learning disability, to those who have profound and complex disabilities.
We work closely with all our volunteers to provide opportunities that they are passionate about - whether it's working face-to-face with the people we support, providing transport or furthering your admin skills, we want to hear from you
We recognise that many of our volunteers lead busy lives and we always work with volunteers to find regular hours and opportunities that suit them. We also reimburse reasonable travel expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses.

- Providing and supporting activities both in-house and in the community
- Sharing any skills or interests you may have e.g., gardening, music, arts and crafts, baking

- Providing emotional support to our residents - sometimes they just need someone to chat to over a cuppa
- Driving residents in company vehicles so they can access the community (drivers will need to undergo a licence check and will be put on company insurance)
- Admin support in our head office
**What we look for in a volunteer**:
- Good communication and interpersonal skills

**Requirements**:
- All volunteers will be required to undergo a DBS check and attend induction and mandatory trainings
