We are busy team delivering the Supported Internships programme in Birmingham for young adults with a learning disability.

We prepare them for work, and help them improve their Maths and English skills in a classroom setting, as well as:

  • Improving their confidence and communication skills
  • Building on their social skills with each other and out in the community
  • Keeping them inspired and engaged

What You will be doing:

  • You will support staff in the classroom with activities
  • You will support learners to improve their Maths and English skills
  • You will engage with learners, to improve their confidence and independence
  • You will encourage learners to try new things and gain new skills
  • Out in the community you will support staff to keep learners motivated and engaged

As a volunteer you will help Mencap staff deliver the classroom sessions assisting young adults to improve their skills, and be a support in the community.

The classroom sessions run from 9am - 3.30pm, Tuesday to Friday. We would require a volunteer to be able to commit to the same day each week. The programme runs for a school academic year of 9 months.

About Mencap Mencap is the leading learning disability charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We work with people with a learning disability and their families to challenge prejudice and change laws, and we directly support thousands of people to live their lives as they choose.

We have an ambitious vision for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives.

Volunteering with us is YOUR opportunity to help us achieve this, whilst having the chance to develop your skills, meet new people and join a passionate and dedicated team.

If you have questions about volunteering with Mencap, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
