Employment & Life Skills Project

Employment & Life Skills Project

Weekly Monday/Friday daytimes, term-time

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. We also run healthy living activities such as Sanjuro martial arts and football.

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.
