This role will be suited to someone who can relate well to children and work within a team. It involves assisting in the delivery of the sessions which could include arts and crafts, sports, cookery etc. This will involve supervising the activity to ensure it is carried out safely and with the full involvement of the young people.

You will also be required to work with the rest of the team in helping to prepare for the start of the session and help tidy up at the end. No specific experience required, just an ability to work as part of a team, be able to get on well with young people and the flexibility to assist with organising and delivering various activities. We will cover reasonable travel expenses. The centre is on a main bus route, with service 14 stopping outside the centre.

The focus is on what the organisation's athletes CAN DO. It is becoming apparent that the Athletes are gaining more and more confidence in their abilities after having attended 'Wednesday Club' sessions. At these sessions, student volunteers help to encourage and support people aged 16+ with intellectual (learning) disabilities to join in and participate in the various sports on offer. There will be opportunities to lead activities as well.No good at sport, no problem, there is no commitment to play sports and you can still come along just to chat with the members and encourage them in the activities. No previous experience is necessary and taxis are provided to and from the event free of charge. Volunteers are asked to wear clothes suitable for sporting activities, especially shoes suitable for running and jumping around in. Don't forget to bring some water with you to stay hydrated after all the sports!If you would like to receive regular updates from the project, a weekly email will be sent to students who register their interest in the opportunity via this volunteering tool box.Some weekly games that happen can include Badminton, Bowls, football and Boccia. Refreshments aren't provided but there is a café onsite that is open during the evening. Payments can only be taken in cash. There are also vending machines onsite.If you have any questions or are interested in becoming a leader on this project, please get it touch with Amy Baer : amy.baer@students.plymouth.ac.uk
