At Whitmore Vale, we offer services to people with learning disabilities and we work alongside them to achieve the most out of their life. Through supported living and residential care we can meet a wide range of needs, supporting people with a mild learning disability, to those who have profound and complex disabilities.
Whitmore Vale Housing Association provides care, support and housing to people with learning disabilities and strives to:
- Facilitate participation in the activities of local communities and encourages employment
- Offer a stimulating, person centred programme of meaningful activities
- Develop life skills to achieve and maintain greater independence
- Promote an understanding that people with learning disabilities have significant contributions to make as valued members of the community.
What we look for in a volunteer:
- Good communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Be reliable and punctual
- Willingness to learn and take on new responsibilities
- A passion for working with people
We work closely with all our volunteers to provide opportunities that they are passionate about - whether it's working face-to-face with the people we support, providing transport or furthering your admin skills, we want to hear from you!
We recognise that many of our volunteers lead busy lives and we always work with volunteers to find regular hours and opportunities that suit them. We also reimburse reasonable travel expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses.
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact in the community while gaining valuable skills and experience. You will be part of a dedicated team working towards a common goal. This is an unpaid position, but the rewards of giving back are immeasurable.
Join us today and become a valued member of our volunteer team!
