Volunteer with us
Our Ambient Jam and Meet Me… programmes are accepting volunteers!
We are looking for people who are:
Personable and Friendly: We need volunteers who are approachable and easy to talk to.
Strong Listening Skills: Essential for connecting with our members and ensuring their safety.
Adaptable and Flexible: Activities may change, so volunteers should be open to adjusting their approach as needed.
Creative Sharing (Optional): Some volunteers enjoy sharing their creativity with our members, but this is not a requirement.
Musician or Dancer?
If you’re interested in volunteering for Ambient Jam, our improvised music and dance sessions run in collaboration with people labelled with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), please email roxanna.kennedy@entelechyarts.org, or complete the form below.
All volunteers will receive an induction.
Meet Me volunteers can attend for the morning (09:30am-12:30pm), the afternoon (12pm-3pm), or the full day (9:30am-3pm).
Typical tasks and activities:
Helping to set up and decorate the space
Meeting and greeting members as they arrive at the Albany
Making teas and coffees for members
Supporting members to take part in activities – this might be creative, sharing the lyrics for choir, or it might be about heading out in to the garden
Grabbing a seat and chatting with members!
Tidying up the space
We’re also looking for volunteers who are interested in helping out with marketing and social media, so if that sounds like your cup of tea, get in touch! It would be great if you also have experience working with people living with dementia.
How to apply?
If you are interested, fill out the application form below. Feel free to email info@entelechyarts.org if you have any questions.
We will then invite you to complete a registration form and book you on to our next available training session. The next volunteer training session for Meet Me at the Albany is on Tuesday 13th October (AM).
Training will explain the programme in more detail and cover safeguarding and boundaries. It is a chance to work through possible scenarios and ensure you feel confident to join us for one of the sessions.
