Bridgend, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Barnardo’s is committed to providing ‘Better Outcomes for More Children’. Our children’s services volunteers help the charity to deliver essential services in local communities, providing support to over 300,000 children, young people and their families. This role provides a great opportunity to join our fantastic children’s services and help make a real difference. **Barnardo’s Mentors** work with young people and adults on a 1:1 basis, offering practical assistance and emotional support, to build their self-confidence, coping mechanisms and positive relationships. The work could be focused on a particular need, such as gaining employment or accessing training, or it could be more focused around life skills and independent living. **Atebion is a Families First funded programme** offering support to children, young people and their families whilst they are going through a diagnosis assessment process, or after they have been diagnosed. The support provided is early intervention support for the whole family, aimed at increasing confidence, self esteem and resilience so that families feel equipped to manage and overcome challenges that arise throughout their life. **Barnardo’s has been awarded 12 months of funding via the WCVA grant to deliver the ‘Ti’n Werth Y Byd’ service, which directly translates to ‘You’re Worth the World’.** The aim of the project is to recruit and support individuals with lived experience of neurodiversity into volunteering opportunities, to develop skills and gain qualifications through the Agored Centre. These volunteers will include children, young people and adults and clear opportunities will be created within our Atebion service to ‘give something back’, remain connected with the service and provide an exit plan through befriending support. We are looking for volunteers, with a passion for making a difference in people’s lives, with a friendly and approachable attitude and an ability to engage young people and adults, empowering them to take steps towards improving their situation and achieving their goals.
Barnardo's protects, supports and nurtures the UK's most vulnerable children. Barnardo's helps bring out the best in children - no matter who they are or what they have been through. Our volunteers help make this happen.- Tasks: Working with children, young people or families on an individual basis, to help them achieve the desired outcomes of their plan.
