Could you be a carer?

If so the Association of Carers could help you gain experience.

The team is looking for a volunteer to help a young man in Bexhill with learning disabilities by visiting him and doing activities to keep him stimulated within his own home.

Spokesman Jo Oliver said: "This role will just be for one morning or afternoon a week and would be ideal for anyone looking for work experience with people with learning disabilities.

"By visiting his home his mum can have a vital break from caring for this young man and he will also gain greatly from your visit too.

"All our volunteers have to be CRB Checked and give two references and travelling expenses incurred by our volunteers are fully reimbursed.

"We are also still looking for about eight volunteers in the Bexhill area to help Carers have a break by sitting with their loved one for three hours each week so that the Carer can go out without worrying about their safety - if you are hoping to get back into work this will look very good on your CV.

"One of our Carers in Rother said the other day that two hours of respite is like a fortnight's holiday...The Carers really do value this service, and we desperately need volunteers to provide it for us please.

"If either of these roles appeal to you or if you are a Carer in need of some time out from caring each week then please contact us on 01424 722309 we will be very happy to hear from you."
