Opportunities

Activities Volunteer

Activities volunteers help with the delivery of activities for clients across BCWA services to keep them engaged, involved and included. They support with the facilitation of different activities, including arts and crafts, coffee mornings, cooking, games and other activity sessions. We have an ever-growing programme of activities across our services, including in our refuge and accommodation services. Client activities at BCWA help ensure we keep connected with the people we support, and provide moments for them to build relationships, reflect on key events and awareness days, and be creative and gain skills. Activities volunteers strengthen the positive impact these activities have for the clients BCWA supports, providing further connection and space for engagement.

 

Principal Responsibilities:

  • Help facilitate a wide variety of activity sessions across BCWA services, including creative sessions, coffee mornings, activity and movement and games.
  • Encourage participation and positive engagement from and with clients.
  • Be a welcoming and friendly face for BCWA clients to build a safe space.
  • Assist with setting up and preparing for activities, including preparing any resources or refreshments required, and stay behind after to assist with tidying up.
  • Collaborating with BCWA staff leading the activity session to understand the session aims and support with smooth delivery.
  • Attend the agreed activities and ensure that, in the event of an emergency or inability to attend, you let the Volunteer Coordinator and/or your Volunteer Manager in service know as soon as possible.
  • Maintain clear and professional boundaries with clients in accordance with BCWA policies and procedures.
  • Report any concerns for clients to BCWA staff.
