Arbeit

The overall objective of the project is supporting and assisting adults with additional support needs, learning difficulties and mental health conditions in their day to day lives.

Volunteers will undertake ancillary and personal care tasks, light domestic duties and general support for individuals.

Camphill is a unique vocational experience as it is based on living and working with the residents. As part of this amazing long term volunteering experience there is an expectation that volunteers become part of the ‘community’ at Camphill TAC. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to participate in community and team meetings to share any ideas and develop skills.

All volunteers will be given ‘holiday leave’ for the duration of their stay and Camphill TAC. The placement is also a great experience if you are looking for something meaningful to do on a gap year or simply want to go a new adventure and change of environment. We don’t look for any previous or specific experience, just a can-do attitude, genuine interest and a passion for helping people! Short-term co-workers are an integral part of Tigh a’Chomainn Camphill, supporting our residents with the help of our senior care and support team.

TRAINING: Volunteers will receive an training induction upon arrival to the site and there will be consistent training throughout this year. Volunteers will be introduced to other staff and volunteers on site. Volunteers will be paired with a ‘co-worker’ for them to ‘shadow’ until you feel comfortable with the practices and procedures. Necessary additional training may be given to the volunteers throughout the year.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

ACCOMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will live on site or an accommodation a short walk away. Your type of accommodation will vary depending on space and availability. Volunteers may be given accommodation at a flat separate to the main property where you would have your own room. All rooms will come with bathroom, bed, storage for clothes and access to Wi-Fi. Volunteers will be provided with a lockable area/safe to store anything away.

Volunteers have a washing machine, tumble drier or can use the ones in the house at specified times.
Volunteers are provided with food and have use of a kitchen with all appliances available. 3 meals a day are provided by TAC for all volunteers.

Lage und Freizeit

Peterculter is an outer suburb of Aberdeen, Scotland. There are many beautiful walks to St Margaret woods. Near to the accommodation there is a local medical centre, a gym, Cafes/bars/restaurants and an easily accessible bus link to Aberdeen City Centre.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Camphill Tigh A'Chomainn are a small and vibrant Camphill Community started in 1987, with two homes situated in a large garden in Peterculter, a village on the outskirts of Aberdeen. In Tigh a’Chomainn we live together as a community supporting adults, some of whom have learning disabilities. Living together in an extended family environment provides the possibility for us all to develop new skills and opportunities. Whilst building these skills we aim to support one another practically and emotionally as needed. In Tigh a’Chomainn the host recognises that we all have different strengths and so aim to support those strengths and foster an attitude of mutual respect for the contributions we can all make for one another. We help one another to feel supported in the decisions that we make for our futures and appreciate the self-esteem that we can gain from our successes. But if we happen to make some mistakes along the way we can do so knowing that we can learn from them and be helped to make the next step.

Tigh a’Chomainn is on of 10 Camphill Communities in Scotland. The host offers a unique setting in which you will learn skills which can transfer to a career in medicine, social work or care. Alternatively if you want a placement which will give you very valuable hands-on experience in caring for adults with learning difficulties.

At Green & Away, the host tailors the internships to the applicants areas of interest and what skills you would like to develop. During your time with Green & Away you could run one long project, or a portfolio of smaller projects, all with a focus on sustainability, ecotourism and outdoor living.

Past Projects have included:

1. Writing a strategy for the charity
2. Designing and maintaining educational boards and signs
3. Doing a carbon footprint analysis
4. Helping with the social media

2. Hospitality and ecotourism
3. Technical and maintenance
4. Office and project management
5. Eco Event Management

Full board is provided (three vegetarian/vegan meals a day and regular tea breaks with cake!). The site has hot showers, clothes washing facilities and composting toilets. All safety equipment you may require will be provided.
A licensed bar with subsidised pricing, comfortable seating areas, and arts and crafts facilities come as and when we have built them. There is WiFi and phone/laptop charging facilities. Please note, when you first arrive the field will be almost empty (although our toilets and showers will be operating), so please be prepared for this).

Although Green & Away is set up on the outskirts of a small village near Worcester, the nearest shop and post office is two miles away.

Lage und Freizeit

The site is situated close to a small village which has some small activities going on, the site is roughly 5-6 miles from Worcester with a direct bus. Volunteers can travel quite freely to a big city. More immediately the site is located to a café with walking trails and a river for swimming bordering the site. The nearest hospital is 9 miles away.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Green & Away are a registered educational charity, that organise, build and run Europe's only tented, sustainable conference centre - a temporary eco-village, situated on a farm in the west of England. Each summer they bring a community of around 100 volunteers from across the world together to create the site, facilitate events, and take down this beautiful and unique project. Green & Away provides an outdoor low impact venue to host many different events. Our purpose it to provide a space for environmental and social education through hosting sustainable events and volunteer education programmes.

Successful applicants for the internship programme should work well as part of a team as well as independently, enjoy taking on new challenges and responsibilities, and have an interest in sustainability, charity work, ecotourism, and outdoor living. You will gain considerable management experience and learn about the challenges involved in sustainable living and environmental education.

Green & Away is an entirely volunteer-run organisation and as an educational charity, teaching our interns has been an integral part of our work for over ten years. All interns are expected to stay on site throughout the season and are provided with three vegetarian meals a day and a space to pitch your own tent. If you would struggle to bring your own tent or sleeping equipment, we can provide you with one of our spares.

Green & Away is looking for several passionate and hardworking individuals to join the summer internship programme. The programme is varied and adaptable to suit you and your interests. What we can offer you is a place to learn new skills, meet a range of different people and learn about sustainability, environmental education, and running a charitable organisation. Green & Away has hosted interns every summer for around six years and the feedback we have received has been excellent. Our interns have gained life-changing skills with us and have described their time as the best summer of their lives. Green & Away is a unique and magical place, with something for everyone.

Arbeit

The host is looking for people who like working hard, having fun, and being part of a community to get involved. At Green & Away the host lives in a comfortable outdoor venue as a community of up to 30 volunteers working together to look after the temporary summer home, taking turns to cook meals, and keeping the site running alongside hosting events. The type of activities you will be involved in depends on which phase of Green and Away you join (there are three) and this may involve putting up large marquees, housekeeping of tents or catering large events (there will be more volunteering, these are just examples.)

You will be supported and encouraged to be involved in whatever you feel most comfortable doing, and the host always supports and appreciates new ideas and feedback – Green & Away is a place to share and learn new skills. The host warmly welcomes and encourages individuals of all backgrounds, ethnicities, races, genders, abilities, ages, religions, and orientations to join the Green & Away project.

Events Phase: Throughout the season we welcome different groups for whom we provide the venue and support in the smooth running of their events. Tasks involve welcoming guests and helping them settle in, cooking meals and baking bread and cakes, washing up, running the bar and cafe, cleaning the showers and toilets, chopping wood, and preparing the site for the next group (washing bedding, making beds, looking after the site).
Each event is different, and no day is the same at Green & Away. By working together as a team, we make even the washing up of over 200 plates a fun task, and you will have the opportunity of trying out different jobs and taking on new responsibilities and challenges! Between events, tasks turn to tidying up and working on different improvement projects which can vary over the years.

You will get 2 days off of volunteering, days off are not the same each week, but rest will be assured to all volunteers.

The work at Green & Away is what brings us together, but there is also plenty of time for evening activities, revelling in music and laughter in our bar, swimming, playing games and enjoying an evening round the campfire. There is also opportunity for day trips to visit the local area, cultural visits or special days out like canoeing on your days off.
You are also invited to engage with our Education Wednesdays, where we spend an afternoon together learning from one another in a variety of ways through talks, workshops and discussions. If you have a skill or knowledge on a topic you would like to share with the group let us know!

Arbeit

As well as sending volunteers in the UK all over the world to take part in volunteer projects, we host international volunteers and UK volunteers on our national programme. Our UK projects allow both teens and adults to explore the UK whilst making a difference. Each project is created in close partnership with charitable organisations who's first priority, like ours, is to improve the lives of others.



YOU WILL GET TO CHOOSE A PROJECT YOU COORDINATE, YOU WILL NOT COORDINATE THE WHOLE TIME, PROJECTS USUALLY LAST A WEEK - YOU CAN COORDINATE MORE THAN ONE PROJECT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO MORE THAN ONE PROJECT YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE YOURSELF UNTIL THE SECOND PROJECT BEGINS. The types of projects you may be a leader on are:

• Supporting children’s play schemes and summer camps
• Helping to run festivals
• Working with adults and/or children with learning difficulties
• Carrying out environmental work in local parks and nature reserves
• Working at a animal sanctuary
• Supporting educational community farms
• Caring for the elderly

As a UK Coordinator, you will immerse yourself into the project and ensure the international volunteers joining the project will have a rewarding project.
ROLE OBJECTIVES
On most of our UK projects we need one or two experienced group coordinators to represent Concordia and help the project run smoothly. The coordinators act as a link between the host organisation, the international volunteers and Concordia. The Coordinators work alongside the volunteers and help the group to organise their day to day living and free time. They also manage a budget for food and social activities, to make sure the everyone gets their fair share of work and fun.

Most projects involve volunteers aged 18+, however coordinators could also lead groups of international volunteers aged 16-17 (teen projects).

• Ensure their safety
• Coordinate volunteering programme (with host) and leisure activities with the group
• Report any safeguarding concerns
• Support and run sessions, give feedback and create positive environments for young people

Coordinators are not responsible for the initial planning and organisation of the project as this is the responsibility of the host organisation prior to the project start.

DUTIES OF THE ROLE

To be part of an exciting programme that has tangible results for the young people involved. This role is demanding and fast-paced but highly rewarding.

Main duties:
• You will need to lead, inspire, and support a team of international volunteers
• Ensure programme content is delivered and understood by the group, acting as a facilitator for your team’s volunteering project
• Lead by example and get involved in leisure and volunteering activities, keeping the team motivated at all times

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

All projects vary in accommodation depending on which project you choose to coordinate. These will vary from University Accommodation to camping.
All international leaders will receive all meals free throughout the duration of the project. If you do more than one project, you will only receive food while on a Concordia project.

Lage und Freizeit

The location will vary dependant on the types of project that you choose to do, Concordia can give you more information once you have chosen a project.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Fairthorne is a place of first - from toddlers walking, kids splashing in the mud, being away from home for the first time, trying new activities, or a great school trip to remember.

Enabling young people to grow and thrive is only made possible with fantastic volunteers from around the world, we want you to add the 'sparkle' to everything the YMCA do. Volunteer with YMCA Fairthorne Manor to help support happy, healthy lives for all.
