Dance Assistant

Can you spare an hour a week to support our Monday sessions based at West End Parish Centre, West End, Southampton, 6 - 7pm? 

Sessions are led by a qualified dance teacher, and volunteers help set up activities, and assist club members to participate in the session. You don't need to be particularly skilled at dance, just enthusiastic and willing to give it a go and get involved!

Our club was set up in 2004, and is run by a small committee. Club members all have learning disabilities and some physical disabilities.

Volunteers really make a big difference in our sessions, supporting the teacher, setting up activities, generally helping and encouraging club members to join in and develop skills.

We have a great group of club members, and you will be warmly welcomed.  Experience working with adults with learning disabilities would be an advantage but not essential.  Good communication skills are important.
