Summary
Be a part of FordHaven and help us deliver fun, memorable sessions for children and their families across Somerset.Detailed description
FordHaven, based in Glastonbury is a hub for children in the Mendips and across Somerset.
It is the creation of Roxie and Paul Ford. Our nurturing environment welcomes ALL children who require time and space in a setting created with them in mind.
We help separated children & families to re-establish, repair and maintain bonds by providing a safe space to spend quality time together whilst also providing a space for those who are home-educated, struggling within school or are unable to attend school at this time.
We are committed to supporting young people in becoming the best versions of themselves.
FordHaven seeks to enable children and young people to build positive relationships. We achieve this through a variety of planned activity sessions where the children & young people are at the heart of what we do. Visit our website for more information.
Session Volunteers will be reliable, pro-active and be responsive to childrens needs.
They will fully engage in our sessions with the children & sometimes parents/carers, which can be anything from using clay and paints to playing board games.
You will be supported during sessions by other FordHaven Team Members.
There will be application and interview process required for this role, as well as the need for satisfactory references and DBS checks to be successful. This recruitment process takes time to complete to maintain our safeguarding requirements therefore, this is not an immediate role.
The application process starts with an informal conversation following your expression of interest.
