Cyber Sessions. Weekly creative, friendly sessions online run by a professional musician. Volunteers will support our staff and learning disabled members.
We are looking for regular, committed volunteer to assist our session leader on a Monday 4-5.30pm on this music session run for learning disabled adults on Zoom.
With all our sessions and activities, we need volunteers to
- To enable and empower our learning disabled members to get the most out of their time with Electric Umbrella
- Engage and encourage member involvement
- Support the session leader(s) and staff
- Get to know our members - What do they like? What are they not keen on?
- Model Electric Umbrella behaviour at all times (enthusiasm, engagement, openness)
After an initial trial period, we ask all volunteers to undergo a DBS and reference(s) check.
What we need help with…
- Engaging and encouraging members to join in
- Support the session leaders in that week’s activities
- Providing musical support to the session leaders (if that’s your thing)
- Helping with the technical side of the Zoom session where needed. No prior knowledge necessary.
- Reporting any concerns to staff
You don't have to be technical, musical, or a musician - just a 'can do' attitude and a willingness to get stuck in!
We will review your application and be in touch to arrange a trail date.
