Coordinator needed for Volunteer Project at Mosney Refugee Centre 7-21 August
VSI are looking for a Volunteer Group Coordinator for our Children's Summer Activity Camp at Mosney Refugee Accommodation Centre in County Meath from 7th - 21st August.
On the project there will be 14 SCI volunteers and a Volunteer Camp Coordinator, the group will be supported by Mosney staff. The Coordinator must be able to commit to staying at the Mosney centre for the two weeks duration of the project, two days preparation at the beginning and to attend meetings (TBA) with VSI and Mosney beforehand to prepare for the work.
The Volunteer Group Coordinator will maintain and support the wellbeing of the volunteers through facilitating team-building, organising activities and social events and liaising between the volunteers and Mosney staff. The Volunteer Group Coordinator will take part in the work with the children along with the other volunteers.
The Volunteer Group Coordinator must have experience in group leadership, have previous voluntary work experience (preferably with VSI) and have experience with children. The role requires a volunteer with excellent communication skills, flexibility and someone who is able to work well under pressure. This position is voluntary and unpaid, expenses will be covered.
The work on the Mosney project can be hard and tiring and while sometimes challenging, the opportunity offers the volunteer an opportunity to use their skills and experience in a very worthwhile project. Volunteering on the VSI Children's Activity Camps at Mosney is great fun, provides unique learning opportunities and is very rewarding.
