Play Area Volunteer Role

Nepacs is currently looking for compassionate Play Area Volunteers to support children visiting their parents or family members at HMP Holme House, Stockton on Tees. Volunteers will offer a warm welcome and support to children in the Visitors Centre, engaging with them while they wait for their visit. Once the visit is taking place, volunteers will play with the children in the play area, helping to keep them occupied and provide a comforting environment during this challenging time.

The primary focus of this role is to ensure the welfare of the child, offering them the opportunity for positive, quality contact with their imprisoned parent or relative. Volunteers can choose to limit their involvement to the Visitors Centre if they prefer not to enter the prison.

Nepacs provides all volunteers with a DBS check for safety and security.

If you are kind, reliable, and passionate about supporting families during difficult times, Nepacs would love to hear from you.
