Volunteer Telford

Activity Assistant.  We hold a regular Youth Club for any young carers who want to come, on alternate Wednesday evenings (5-7pm) for different age carers (one week primary school age, the following week secondary school age).  If you're over 16 you can support our younger group and if you're 18+ you can support both groups.  You'll work in within our team of staff and other volunteers, preparing and taking part in activities (games, crafts, lego, computer games, sports etc).  We also provide a filling meal so you might be on kitchen duty some weeks! You'll play alongside the children, making sure they have lots of fun, and also be a listening ear if they have any worries they want to talk about.  Join our fun-loving team and we'll pay you for any travel or other expenses and you'll receive training and ongoing support.

Stroke Association Voluntary Groups provide long term social and peer support to people affected by stroke.  They organise events and meet together to reduce social isolation and rebuild the confidence of members.  Committee members organise and ensure the smooth running of the groups, and lead the team of volunteers.

Voluntary groups are run by a team made up of a Chairperson/Group Organiser, Secretary and Treasurer/Finance.  Depending on your role you will be individually of collectively responsible for some of these tasks:

This might be the role for you if:
• You are confident in managing people and taking the lead or have prior experience of doing so in either a voluntary or professional capacity.
• You have administrative or secretarial skills.
• You have experience of managing a budget.
• You have excellent listening and communication skills.
• You have excellent organisational skills.
• You are computer literate.

As a voluntary Events and Education Assistant at our Head Office you’ll be supporting the team who manage education and event activities across the country. This includes our flagship PetCheck programme, our junior membership scheme Pet Protectors and our other educational products and services. 
If you’d like to be part of our fantastic team you’ll need good literacy and numeracy skills, be an admin whiz and not afraid of some data entry. You’ll have the chance to help shape our educational products and write copy for our resources, including Animal Antics, our kids’ magazine. If you’re organised and reliable and want to work in a busy office environment with a friendly team, then we’d love to hear from you.
