Anyone with a love of children! There are no particular skills required but you must have a love of children. It’s a great project to use as part of a gap year or for anyone who just wants to do something amazing and perfect for anyone enthusiastic and pro-active. It’s a challenging and rewarding role so remember to be flexible and use your initiative. Any hidden talents in areas like sports, music, drama, art or fundraising will be more than welcome!
