Volunteer Helper for children with special needs

We are a Gloucestershire-based charity called HCPT Group 3 and we are recruiting volunteers to help us take children with special needs on holiday next Easter (2025) to France.

For many of these kids, they won’t have been abroad before and so it’s a very exciting holiday filled with fun and laughter and lots of silliness! We eat lots, play lots of games, have a water fight, an Easter egg hunt, a party, a sports day, and the list goes on … but the emphasis is always on having the most fun possible! Both the helpers and children have a great time and many of our helpers come back year after year! We are a Christian organisation but take people of all faiths and none.

You need absolutely no experience whatsoever - we provide lots of training so that you can feel comfortable looking after the children and, because of our group ethos, you are never alone and always supported in everything you do. The group becomes a little family by the end of the holiday!

Have a look at our website where you can find testimonials, timelines and more about us. Our facebook page has recent photos from our trip just gone in Easter 2024. Please get in touch if you think this might be for you or if you have any questions - we would love to hear from you!!

Our application is short because we prefer to talk to you in person and get to know you like that - that way, you can ask questions too.

ARE YOU INTERESTED? Come to our OPEN MORNING on Saturday 8th June 2024! A short hour or so, to get to know us, chat to helpers who have been before and see what it's all about - no pressure to sign up! GET IN TOUCH for all the details!

P.S. - if you are 16-17, you can join us as a 'Young Helper' and our trip can count as the residential part of your Gold DofE.
