Volunteer opportunities are available in every area of our services. We look for committment to the project and enthusiasm for the task rather than specific qualifications. However, experience gained as a result of being a parent, previous voluntary work, a paid job, participation in clubs and societies can often be relevant when volunteering. An interest in Autism and a willingness to commit at least 3 hours per visit are desirable. Some volunteers may want to work with us for a short period of time, eg.
Volunteers are welcome in whatever capacity they can offer.
We need individuals on a daily basis to help run our library and our play sessions, so whatever time you can offer will be helpful to us. Your intial contact will be with the Volunteer Co-ordinator who will be responsible for your recruitment and induction. When you start working with us, the member of staff whose department you are placed in will be your line manager to go to for any problems or issues you may have. All volunteers will be invited to an initial training session prior to starting a specific volunteer job. Those who are part of our volunteer team will be invited to any training opportunities that occur throughout the year.
