Interesting about this job
As volunteer coordinator of the Top Club, you will contribute to the existence of a place where young people with autism can meet and do things together, but above all just be themselves.
You will work independently with the other volunteers. It is your project, and your understanding of what is needed and how best to shape it is leading. The project coordinator of Humanitas is present in the background to help with practical matters and to think with you when you can't work things out yourself.
Job tasks and duties
Humanitas' Top Clubs are clubs for adolescents and young adults with a form of autism. They meet once a month on a Saturday evening, accompanied by a regular group of volunteers, and can meet peers in a familiar environment. To continue facilitating this, we are looking for new Top Club volunteers.
As a Top Club volunteer, you will plan meetings together with your fellow volunteers, and in consultation with the participants. Are you going to play board games together, do a pub quiz, play pool, or perhaps a creative activity? You create clear frameworks regarding start time, end time and what else is expected of participants (and/or their parents), to provide clarity, predictability and thus safety for participants. When participants are new, you introduce them to the rest and keep an eye on their ability to settle in.
Job skills and qualities
- You are strong enough to match what the target group needs.
- You are flexible and can cope well with changing circumstances.
- You have strong organisational skills and are not easily lost.
- You derive satisfaction from facilitating these encounters between young people and young adults with ASD.
