Have fun and make a real difference to the lives of disabled children and their families.

 

Become a short break carer providing regular short breaks to a disabled child.

 

We need carers and befrienders who can provide regular short breaks for children with learning and/or physical disabilities. This can be anything from a few hours a week to a weekend a month.

 

We particularly need carers who can provide breaks for children with complex needs, challenging behaviour and those who need a great deal of attention and stimulation.

 

 

You could be working, retired or unemployed, with or without children, single or with a partner. You do not need any particular experience or qualifications.

 

Training, support and an allowance are provided.
