Activities Assistant Volunteer
Dove Lane is a 24 hour residential care service for adults with Learning Disabilities. We currently have 5 residents, male and female.
We have a volunteer opportunity available at Dove Lane, Harrold, Bedfordshire. We are located in Harrold, and as we are a rural area with limited public transport, if you are a car driver with access to your own vehicle you may find it easier to travel to us, we have onsite parking available. We are flexible on the days and times for your volunteering sessions.
We are looking for volunteers to deliver fun and engaging activity sessions. If you have a particular skill, or a general enthusiasm for all things arts and crafts we’d love to hear from you! The sessions can include board games, baking sessions, knitting clubs, music lessons, origami, gardening, our residents are keen to get involved!
There are other ways to volunteer too, our service has a lovely garden and we’d love help to build a sensory garden and really make the most of the space. You would be helping a member of staff to create an area where our residents can enjoy the outdoors during the spring and summer months.
As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer support network group on Zoom. Together we can make a difference!
