Weekday project for young adults to develop skills for work or further education.
This is a mentoring role to support people with mild/moderate learning disabilities and/or autism to develop skills to access further education, employment opportunities, and mainstream community facilities.

As a volunteer mentor you will be directly helping people to learn skills based on your own life experience including sourcing employment opportunities, living alone and travelling on public transport.  Getting paid work and being independent are all things we often take for granted.  For people in the ELSP group these things are hard to achieve without support.

So if you’ve ever written a CV or a shopping list, travelled on the tube or bus, budgeted for a weeks living costs or applied for a course, you would be just the sort of person we need.

The project runs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during term time.  We ask that volunteers commit to two days per week so that you can build a good rapport with the members of the group.
