Raising awareness! Raising money! Raising morale in the community! Do you want to help improve the service for people living with sight loss? This role is about getting involved in the community to raise money and awareness to help deliver an amazing service to people living with an visual impairment. This will involve participating in different events, posting posters, delivering collection boxes and participating in stalls selling items to help raise money. There is a mixture of activities that you can engage in depending on your interests. Also the role is very flexible and you can help out whenever you are available with no regular commitments.

The Guildford Institute is a cultural, social and educational centre situated in an attractive Grade II listed building at the corner of North and Ward Street in the heart of Guildford.

The centre offers a range of activities throughout the year including courses, talks, room hire, music recitals and art exhibitions.

We are currently looking for a part-time Receptionist/Administrator. Our Receptionist/Administrators are the "human face" of the Institute - and as a public access building we have to respond to whatever queries come through our door.
 

Typically, the Receptionist/Admin Volunteer would carry out tasks that might include: dealing with queries and questions from both our Members and the general public; handling incoming phone calls; making bookings for courses, talks and visits; updating our databases, processing e-mails and providing secretarial support; organising posters and promotional information.

Our Receptionist/Administrators volunteer Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. Shifts can be worked flexibly – mornings, lunchtimes, afternoons or full days.

In particular, we are currently looking for someone who is able to work on Wednesday afternoons or Fridays.

My Guide is a great service to increase your own personal skills and to have the opportunity to help people with a visual impairment. Within the role, you are partnered with a visually impaired individual based on similar interests. Amongst yourselves you agree on a activity plan, which you then partake in for a couple of hours once a fortnight. By doing this you are increasing their confidence to go out in the community and giving them the opportunity to do things they previously could not do. This is also a great opportunity for you to socialise with new people and perhaps to do different activities. Before commencing the role full training is provided after a reference and DBS check is completed. All out of pocket expenses are given within limit.

Do you want to volunteer with children with autism?

Calling all Students, Teachers, Nannies, Carers, Learning Support Assistants, Undergraduates and Postgraduates who want to gain career-enhancing skills and help children with autism at the same time.
Focus Surrey will once again run its popular Saturday club for autistic children aged two to 16 with Term 8 starting in February 2020.
We are looking for volunteer tutors to help support children with autism in a fun, friendly and
child-centred environment. You need to be energetic, reliable and committed, as you will be active and on your feet regularly with your allocated child.
Ideally you will have some experience of working with children and be interested in developing your understanding of children with disabilities. You will receive training to help children practise social and early years skills in line with the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). The club is led by Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA) Tracey Tibbals BCBA and Karolina Gburczyk BCBA.

As a tutor, you will work one to one (or two to one) with an allocated child towards specific targets and create learning opportunities through play and fun in a natural environment setting. Other volunteers will work as play facilitators supporting children to play together within a group. Volunteer tutors will be allocated a specific child based on their qualifications and experience. You will gain experience working with children in both the 2-10 (morning) and 11-16 (afternoon) age groups with a different child from 10am to 12pm and from 1pm to 3pm.

Before the club opens up to children, there will be two full days of training in order for you to develop your understanding of autism, ABA and the skills required for the position. Training will also be on-going throughout the term on club days through direct supervision.

It is imperative that volunteers are able to commit to the majority of dates to ensure a consistent experience for all. All volunteers will go through an Enhanced DBS check.
The club will run each Saturday from 9am to 4pm over the period from 22nd February to 13th June (excluding March 28th, April 11th and May 16th).

Children will attend the club from 10am to 12pm and 1pm to 3pm. Between 9-10am and 3-4pm on each Saturday, you’ll receive training and advice and help to prepare and pack away materials. We can provide volunteer placements for those requiring experience for your studies - please ask for details. The club is a 10-minute walk from Cheam train station and accessible by bus.
