It is a rewarding experience with a enduring impact.Get in touch today to start this fantastic opportunity!Here are some of the activities you may take part in, going for walks, participating in clubs or classes together, or attending Equal Future’s social events. As a volunteer you may sometimes also offer kind and friendly support to not only the individual, but their family as well, depending on the circumstance.Community Volunteers also attend the circle meetings (our group meeting, usually bimonthly) and meet one-on-one with the person we support weekly or fortnightly.You will spend about 2/3 hours per week, or every two weeks, and when is flexible to your schedule!All our work is community based, and so accessibility is subject to what activities you undertake with the person you are supporting. Our team is always ready to address any accessibility requirements of yours upon applying.
Equal Futures creates connections for people with a learning disability or autism and their family carers through our Circles of Support model.
By joining our caring and knowledgeable team you will play a crucial role within society, where you can support someone to build their confidence and access opportunities they might previously have been isolated from, or improving the self-esteem of someone with a learning disability who is lonely and isolated within their community.
To support you into the role you will benefit from training and on-going skills development, as well as friendly, professional support from our Project Coordinators throughout your entire volunteering experience.
