Assistant Conductor at Whoopsadaisy

What does the opportunity involve doing?

Our service supports children with Cerebral Palsy or other motor difficulties and our volunteers take an active and supportive role in these sessions. At Whoopsadaisy, we provide conductive education and occupational therapy, and volunteers not only learn about this service, but also gain hands-on experience working with children with physical challenges.

Working as part of a dynamic and supportive team, you can gain valuable experience with children with physical disabilities, expanding your knowledge and skill base to support you in your future.

Volunteers’ responsibilities include taking initiative in helping to set up and clean before and after sessions, supporting and assisting leaders of the session and being an active, enthusiastic and engaged team member to help create a positive environment in sessions!

You will feel accomplished and appreciated, as you will enable us to provide the children with the 1:1 support they need; we simply couldn’t run our services without you!

What induction, training and support is offered?

Volunteers receive a comprehensive induction outlining our expectations, responsibilities, and guidelines.

Full training is provided by experienced professionals and session leaders to ensure volunteers feel confident and well-prepared. Ongoing support and resources are also available throughout their time with us.

What skills or qualities are needed?

Patience, empathy, good communication, and a willingness to learn.

Volunteers should be reliable, respectful, and able to support children in a positive, inclusive way.
