Activity Worker

We have received funding from BBC Children in Need for one year to support Young Carers aged 8 to 18. The funding is for organised trips and activities during school holidays both in and outside the York area.

We need a pool of sessional workers to help us run these. The activities range from 3 hours to 1 or 2 days and may involve evenings and occasional overnight stays away from home. Must be sensitive to needs of vulnerable young people. Experience of Youth work preferred. Access to a car and ability to transport young people is essential.

Message in a bottle

Message in a bottle containerThe ‘message in a bottle’ scheme encourages you to keep your personal and medical details in a bottle in the fridge. If you have an accident or sudden illness, then the emergency services know where they can find information they need. This saves time and they can treat you more quickly.
