Job Advert
Could you spare a few hours around once a month to help a friendly young man with a learning disability to access his community? Do you enjoy socialising with others, perhaps by popping into the local to catch the football over a couple of pints? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! It may sound too good to be true, but by doing this you would be helping a brilliant young man to access his community and socialise. He supports Newcastle United, so would particularly enjoy watching them play, but is open to anything that gets him out and about. He lives fairly rurally, so it is likely that this role will involve some level of either driving or public transport. This is an amazing way to have a lot of fun and make a massive difference while doing it. If you are interested, please do get in touch! For this role, you need to be:
1. Over 18 years of age
2. Friendly and approachable
3. Good at communicating and listening
4. Able to volunteer once or twice a month - we can be very flexible to when suits you
5. Reliable and patient
6. Interested in others
7. Accepting of others who might be different to yourself
8. Willing to volunteer within guidelines and to take direction where necessary
For this role you will also need to provide two character references, and we will need to create a DBS check for you. Please click on the Role Profile tab at the bottom of this page for more information about the role. You can apply by either:
