GET INVOLVED
The young people we support are exciting, fun and full of potential. We want to create a dynamic environment for these, and want to increase the range of activities we can offer them to help them experience life in all its fullness.
We are open minded about the sorts of things that can be offered, and want to be able to offer opportunities that are as diverse as our residents! Wherever possible we want our young people to have experiences that promote skills such as teamwork, managing emotions, tolerance, positive self-image, forward planning, respect and problem solving. Volunteers don’t need experience of working with groups or young people as staff will be on hand to provide support and guidance.
We also have paid vacancies come up from time to time, please take a look at our vacancies
All staff and volunteers require an enhanced DBS check.
