Full board (on working days) and lodging
is provided plus£30.00 pocket money per week. Accommodation
is in caravans - short term volunteers may have to share.
There is a laundry on site for your
use.
You must be completely independent,
able and willing to look after yourself in all respects
during your stay and especially on days off.
SHORT TERM VOLUNTEERS (1 - 4 weeks)
will work under the supervision of centre staff with our own
respite care activity holidays for children and adults with
mainly mental/multiple handicap.
LONG TERM VOLUNTEERS (4 or more
weeks) may also be assigned other campsite duties.
In both situations you are an assistant
to the group leaders and may be required to help in all aspects
of the camp, ie direct care, activities on and off site, general
upkeep of centre facilities, domestic duties, (cooking, cleaning,
laundry etc.).
When assisting group leaders and participating
in activities your personal pleasure comes second (if at
all!) to ensuring the participation and enjoyment for
each other member of the group. This is NOT easy.
It requires observation and attention to ALL members
of a group.
You are expected to display appropriate
conduct, beneficial to campers and the Centre, both on and
off-site. As a resident you will be observed both on and off
duty.
