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 read and chat with a person we support. The individual loves being read Disney stories and books about witches, ghosts and animals. The role would be ideal for someone who is imaginative and sociable.
Can you help?
We are looking for volunteers who are compassionate and patient with good social skills. Ideally this would be a weekly volunteer role, or as often as volunteers are able to commit. We provide a thorough induction, and support to volunteers throughout their role.
We can cover travel and some activity expenses.
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.
