No formal qualifications are required. We are looking for volunteers who are patient, reliable, and supportive, with an interest in working with young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Experience or knowledge of SEND would be beneficial; however, full training and ongoing support will be provided. Required training courses will be supplied and must be completed prior to starting the role. Volunteers will have opportunities to develop new skills, support individual needs, and take part in leading activities with guidance from the team.

We are an inclusive organisation and actively support volunteers with disabilities and additional access needs, as this is at the heart of what we do. We take the time to understand each volunteer’s individual needs and adapt the role where possible. This may include adjustments to tasks, clear and accessible communication, and providing support at a pace that suits the individual. Our venues are accessible, and volunteers will be supported by a friendly and understanding team to ensure they feel comfortable, confident, and able to take part.
