Baking and Cooking Youth Work Volunteer – Heathfield Youth Hub
About this organisation
Heathfield Youth Hub is a free and safe space for young people aged:
9-17 and up to 19 for those with mild to moderate disabilities.
Take part in fun activities, make new friends and learn new skills, such as music, cooking and more.
Sometimes young people need a place to go and something to do. We are here to support young people with whatever is on their mind.
All our clubs and activities are LGBTQ+ friendly. There are also specific LGBTQ+ sessions, as well as our Funky Teens group. We also welcome young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
We do a range of activities such as games, sports, arts and baking and more!
About this opportunity
We are looking for Bakers and Cooks to join our volunteer team. A key part of our youth work curriculum is healthy eating, and at youth sessions young people enjoy cooking meals and baking sweet treats. You would help the young people to learn vital cooking skills and recipes that show healthy and sustainable living.
You may also volunteer in the other activities that we offer, including sports, games and well-being activities.
You can volunteer once a week or more, depending on your availability. Our youth sessions are all in the evenings. Volunteers and staff arrive 30 minutes before and stay afterwards to debrief and discuss the session.
You will require a DBS check for this role, which will be fully paid for by us.
Applicants must be aged 16 or over.
Mileage or public transport expenses are paid.
As a volunteer, you will also be required to complete free training courses.
