Part-Time
We are looking for enthusiastic Arts and Crafts Volunteers to help provide meaningful companionship, creativity, and support at two of our Extra Care services in the London Borough of Brent. Volunteering with Creative Support is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of people with support needs while working alongside our team to deliver truly person-centred care.
We are seeking individuals who are creative, patient, warm, and approachable, with a genuine interest in supporting others. You don’t need to be a professional artist, but you should enjoy arts and crafts, be enthusiastic about sharing ideas, and be able to encourage participation in a relaxed and inclusive environment. If you can spare a couple of hours and are able to volunteer on a regular basis, we’d love to hear from you.
Activities might include:
- Painting, drawing, and colouring activities
- Card-making and seasonal crafts
- Textile-based projects such as knitting and sewing
- Decorative and creative crafts
- Workshops linked to cultural events, celebrations, and holidays
- Collaborative art projects and displays
- Supporting residents to explore new creative hobbies and interests
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy and you can offer a few hours on a regular basis, we’d love to hear from you!
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
