An individual that we support in one of our supported living homes in Fishponds is looking for a volunteer to support him to do activities in the community.
Can you help?
Activities could include walking, visiting museums, bowling, and going to the cinema and theatre – the person we support is very sociable, easy going and independent. Ideally this would be a weekly or fortnightly role on a Saturday for 4 – 6 hours, depending on the activity. The individual has a National Trust membership with a free spot for a volunteer, so if you are a driver this would be a bonus.
Travel expenses are covered for each volunteering shift and mileage will be reimbursed by the individual if you drive to any activity. They also have a companion bus pass. Activity expenses will be discussed prior to starting in the role with the individual and the service.
For all our volunteer roles a DBS check will be carried out and we will request two references. All volunteers will need to complete online volunteer training in preparation for your role. You will be supported by both the volunteer team and a designated member of staff in the service too.
You can apply for this role several ways :
- Apply online – please note this is a general application form, please specify the role you are applying for.
- Fill out a word application form (standard or easy read) - please email us for a copy of this.
- Give us a ring and we can take down your details.
