You do not need experience. Full disability awareness training will be provided before you begin volunteering with us. The only requirements we ask of you are enthusiasm, energy and to be open-minded. Minimum age for volunteers is 20.
ELSP represents a fantastic opportunity for you to share your knowledge and experience built up through a lifetime to a group that is continuing to develop and achieve their targets. We’ll reimburse your travel expenses and will provide excellent training and lots of helpful support. By volunteering on our project you'll also: • Use and develop your skills: time-management, working within a team, problem-solving and adaptability. • Learn something new, get involved in fun activities with others. • Increase your confidence. • Meet like-minded people and make friends. • Gain experience for (other) work • Give something back to the community. • Do something fun and satisfying in your spare time • Challenge yourself.
The project runs from 10am to 3pm, Mondays and/or Fridays during term-time. Everyone gets the most out of the project if you come every week for at least a term as you'll build a close relationship with the members you'll have been supporting and will create the most impact.
