Milestones Trust is a health and social care charity supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and dementia. The Trust provides residential, nursing and community support services to around 750 people living in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset areas.
One of our supported living homes for adults with learning disabilities in Fishponds is looking for a volunteer to help a person we support access the wider community. The individual likes going to pubs, the theatre, musicals and searching charity shops for books. They would like to explore the center of Bristol, in particular the harbourside/waterfront. The role would be ideal for someone who shares the same interests and enjoys a day out.
Can you help?
We are looking for volunteers who are compassionate and patient with good social skills. Ideally this would be a weekly or fortnightly volunteer role, or as often as volunteers are able to commit. We provide a thorough induction, and support to volunteers throughout their role, however, a knowledge of mental health issues would be advantageous.
We can cover travel and some activity expenses. Please note, although this role may include going to the pub, neither staff or volunteers are allowed to drink alcohol.
Please note, for all of our volunteer roles a DBS check will be carried out and references will be taken up. All volunteers have a volunteer induction before starting in role and are supported by both the volunteer team and a member of staff in the service too.
Please get in touch if you are interested or would like further information, we would love to hear from you.
