About Opportunity
Geeza Break needs more Respite Carers to add to our existing team. When necessary, Respite Carers care for and support children (age up to sixteen) in the carer’s own home, for a few hours or overnight. All our carers are fully vetted and approved volunteers who are prepared to give time and support to a child in need. We give you in depth training on child care, substantial levels of practical support & advice and an allowance for all respite provided. **HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?** If you are interested in this opportunity please get in touch with us ideally by email or phone using the contact details on this page. Alternatively you can register your interest directly using the Register Interest facility. If we have not responded within 5 working days please contact the Volunteer Centre.
