We are looking for Home Support Volunteers to assist the families of the children who come to Helen & Douglas House.
How do I get involved?
Home support volunteers are matched with individual Helen House families. The needs of each family will vary but volunteers generally help around the family home with light cleaning, ironing, gardening, shopping etc. Some volunteers may also help siblings with homework or play games.
We are looking for commitment of 3-4 hours per week (including travelling time), for up to 18 months. Our families are based in Chipping Norton.
Main responsibilities and duties include:
- Regularly visiting a family to offer practical help in the home as requested by the family.
- Being a ‘listening ear’ where appropriate.
- Helping with light cleaning and tidying.
Experience and training:
We’re looking for someone who has the confidence to work on their own in a family home. Experience of working with children or families would be an advantage, but it’s not essential – full training will be provided (both face-to-face and online).
