We home and care for adults with learning disabilities and we're looking for people that can offer their time to help improve the lives of others. There's a huge range of ways you can offer to help, whether it's a simple cup of tea and a chat providing companionship or assisting/leading an arts, dance, choir or drama session, or even simply driving someone to the shops or joining them down the pub.

Gardening, baking, craft, music (choir/ukulele band/jam session) drama, reading together, walking, driving a community vehicle, coffee morning preparation, administration, meditation/prayer, going to church.

What skills do I need?

• You need to be someone with an open mind, patient and willing to learn alongside our members.
• It is important that you can operate relatively independently and understand your own limitations.
• You will receive relevant training and support.
• Above all an openness to joy and friendship is what is needed.

When do I need to be available?
