Matrix Neurological is a lived-experience led, pioneering charity that helps children and young people living with an acquired brain injury caused by an accident or illness.  We also provide practical, emotional and peer support to their families.

Due to increased referrals, we are expanding our highly skilled team.  We are looking for several patient, supportive, resilient and dynamic individuals for volunteer positions.  You must be passionate about helping people to succeed and have good long term outcomes, by maximising their skills and personal development through the provision of innovative non-clinical interventions.

Ideally you will have experience of acquired brain injury in children and young people however in-depth training will be provided where necessary.

CLASSROOM SUPPORT VOLUNTEERS (6 positions) – Hours – to be agreed

These roles are to support learning and skills development as well as the smooth running of our Classroom/Activities Room for children and young people living with the effects of an acquired brain injury.  You will also provide fun and stimulating therapeutic activities, as guided by the Specialist SEN staff, to assist with cognitive, communication or emotional and behavioural development.  These roles would particularly suit Teacher Training Students or retired teachers as you will utilise your existing skills as well as learn about acquired brain injuries in children and young people and how they affect learning.
