LEGS (Local Exercise Groups for stroke and neurological conditions) is a registered charity providing supported exercise classes led by specialist physiotherapists for people who have had a stroke or live with a neurological condition. LEGS was founded to provide ongoing, high quality, longer-term, affordable rehabilitation which is not time limited. LEGS provides a programme which sustains increased physical activity and social participation.

We are currently looking for volunteers to support our physiotherapists, in our weekly face to face classes. Duties will involve: 

• Setup of studio and equipment for the class (carrying chairs, distributing equipment)
• Greeting participants on arrival and assisting them with their belongings
• Cleaning and tidying away of equipment and assisting participants with taxis on departure.
• Providing support to the physiotherapist as needed (e.g. greeting latecomers)

The ideal volunteer will:

• Have excellent communication skills
• Show compassion and respect towards our participants
• Be reliable and punctual
• Have a friendly and welcoming demeanour
• Be able to assist with moving chairs and light boxes of gym equipment

What skills do I need?

This is a chance to make a difference to the lives of people living with neurological conditions. This is also a brilliant opportunity to work alongside experienced neuro physiotherapists and gain experience in the health care sector in a friendly, supportive environment, (but please note no clinical experience is required and you will not be providing any care). 

LEGS is committed to safeguarding. Successful volunteers will require an enhanced DBS check. We can arrange this for you. We will also require you to present us with proof of identity, emergency contact details and a proof of address.
