Would you like to volunteer and support young carers?

Date: Thursday, March 14th 2013
Categories: All Leicestershire Harborough Activities & Events Groups & Forums

Voluntary Action South Leicestershire (VASL) is looking for a volunteer to help run its Young Carers Activity Group, based in Market Harborough. The Young Carers Activity Group is a sister project to Support for Carers. 

The role will involve supporting a fortnightly evening group for young carers aged from 12 to 17, helping to run activities like cooking and games.

You'll also help new members settle in and make friends and plan new activities and ideas for the group.

You'll be asked to attend a Steering Group around three times a year to help shape the future of the group and to help out on occasional outings such as trips to theme parks.

If you're interested in working with young carers and have the confidence and skill to deliver simple activities then this could be the role for you.

You'll need to provide references and agree to a CRB (police) check before starting. In return for your time, we offer free Safeguarding training and one to one support plus valuable, rewarding work experience and lots of fun.

The role is unpaid but reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.

To find out more take a look at the Role Description or call Hannah Currington on 0845 689 9510 (calls charged at local rates) or email [email protected]
