Our Place serves children, teenagers and young adults who have a variety of special needs, and their families. These may include physical disability, learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders.

If you would like to work alongside children or young people who have special needs, we would be delighted to welcome you onto team.

Where possible, team members support individuals so that they can participate in their age-appropriate activities. For example, you might be part of a special needs team working within another venue, such as Rock Solid, Pebbles or a café. Support is given either on a one-to-one basis or in small groups.

The team in Our Place run a special program of activities designed for those who find it difficult to participate in other groups, and includes drama, worship, craft and games. If you don’t have any previous experience of working with people who have special needs, this will not exclude you from the team, as support and training will be given. There will be a training day held prior to the summer conferences.

The hours include a morning session and either an afternoon or evening session, approximately 8 hours each day. This team is for adults (17 years+) only.
