Children's School Holiday Programme Volunteer - Star Mindset, supported by Anxious Minds.

We are looking for caring, reliable people for children’s programme that will run during school holiday periods. Our aim is to help children, who are on CNWT waiting lists for neurodiversity and/or mental health assessment, to feel included, encouraged and able to shine. You will be working alongside other staff and there is no expectation that you will lead or teach any sessions.

We want you if 

Ideally, you have experience of supporting neurodivergent children (not essential).

You have a genuine interest in supporting primary school aged neurodivergent children

You are patient, encouraging and able to adapt to individual needs.

You work well as part of a team.

We are looking for a range of abilities and ages, so please don’t disqualify yourself, until we have discussed what you can bring to the group! This is an immediately rewarding role as you watch children develop and gain self-worth, whilst developing your own skills and experience within the team.

 There will be further locations added in the future , but at present the volunteer role will be at Metrocentre Community Hub, Gateshead.

If you are interested please contact lindsay@anxiousminds.co.uk with a brief description of why you would like to participate and we will organise an informal chat at your convenience. Please note: A DBS check will need to be completed due to the nature of the volunteering opportunity.
