SEND Summer Scheme Volunteer

Volunteer Now has partnered with Be Collective to bring a dedicated online platform for volunteering to Northern Ireland. The platform supports volunteers through the volunteering process and helps connect more people with a wider range of opportunities. There’s lots of great features to Be Collective like messaging, making a profile, and being able to compile all your experiences, training and roles as well as the skills gained within a social CV.You can search and apply for volunteer roles below. If you can’t find anything you like you at the moment – register now, then check back soon – new opportunities are added all the time!Our Summer Scheme runs over 6 weeks throughout July and August- we ask that volunteers are able to commit to at least one full week (either am or pm sessions, or both), as it\’s really important for our children to have consistency. All children attending our Summer Scheme have a diagnosis of ASD and/or additional needs.Each day consists of two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Volunteers can choose either the morning or afternoon sessions, or choose to do both.The sessions have between 6-8 children per group, and each child will have their own key-worker (a staff member or volunteer to stay with them during the session to play with them, and support them if they need any assistance). During the week, we go on trips- often to the beach, parks or farm. We also have music or art workshops on site. The supervisor of the session you are allocated into will have a schedule for that week.Volunteers will have an induction before summer scheme starts, and will have the support and guidance of the staff throughout the summer scheme.Volunteers must complete an Enhanced AccessNI check prior to starting.#### Tasks and responsibilities* Support children with SEND* Engage with children in play* Support staff team in facilitating session* Assist in facilitating session* Gain experience in working with SENDSkills and experience gainedAdaptabilityChildcareCommunication SkillsInterpersonal SkillsTeamworkTime ManagementCauses supportedCommunityDisability ServicesYoung People #J-18808-Ljbffr
