Opportunities for Development Treloar Trust
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Treloar Trust provides education, care, therapy, medical support and independence training to young people with physical disabilities from across the UK and overseas. The aim of Treloar Trust is to prepare these young people for adult life, giving them the confidence and skills to achieve their full potential. Treloar Trust is looking for volunteers for an 11 month volunteering placement to start at the end of August 2018. Volunteers play an important role in helping the students engage in the full range of activities on offer by providing creative, practical and motivational support.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers support either in Treloar School, Treloar College or in the therapies department. Volunteers in the School or College will support the tutor groups in a range of different educational, creative and sports sessions. Volunteers in the therapies departments will support the staff with arranging and delivering physiotherapy, speech and language or occupational therapy sessions for students.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers are accommodated together on-site at Treloar Trust, although separately from the students. Each volunteer has their own bedroom. Treloar Trust is on the outskirts of Alton, which is a market town in Southern England. Treloar Trust is a 20 minute walk from the town which has a transport links to other nearby towns. The volunteers will be provided with food in the canteen for all of their meals during term time and during the holidays they will be provided with a food allowance. The canteen offers a choice of meals and can cater to a variety of requirements.
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers are provided with training by the coordinating organisation on arrival to the UK which includes intercultural learning, linguistic support, practical information, etc. They are also provided with evaluation training at the mid-term point and at the end of the placement. At the Treloar Trust volunteers have a comprehensive induction to introduce them to the work of the centre, its procedures and policies. They initially shadow staff members while they become familiar with their role and they receive training in any aspect of the role for which it is required.
⚠️ Requirements
Belgian volunteer required !
The Treloar Trust is looking for volunteers who are keen to work with young adults with disabilities and motivated to share their time and enthusiasm with others. They are looking for volunteers with a reasonable level of English as many of the students at the centre have communication difficulties. The roles in the School or College are well suited to people who are keen to share their time and interests with young people with disabilities. The roles in Physiotherapy, Speech and Occupational Therapy departments would benefit someone who was looking to a future career in this area.
