Chailey Heritage School

Volunteers help to support staff at Chailey Heritage School in their work with the young people and allow them more time to use their trained skills. In this way, voluntary help can considerably enrich the lives of the young people, whether at school, or on the residential bungalows. A voluntary helper should be a friendly and understanding person, who likes children and has time to make a regular commitment, however small, perhaps a session/day once a week although occasionally volunteers can be accepted on an irregular basis.

A volunteer's health should generally be good and certainly up to the tasks which might be undertaken. However we will consider applicants who have a disability.  As there are such a wide variety of activities available it is usually possible to place volunteers of differing abilities into suitable and appropriate positions. The minimum age for  volunteers is 16 for working in the school and 18 for the residential bungalows.

Volunteers will be subject to an enhanced disclosure via the Criminal Records Bureau and references/health checks will be requested. They will also need to complete a two day induction programme.  The needs and opportunities for voluntary help at Chailey Heritage School are regularly reviewed to ensure that volunteers are allocated to tasks best suited to them and where they are most needed.

The following list gives you an idea of the wide range of activities in which volunteer's can take part:
