IVS-GB: L'Arche Community, Belfast

CODE: GB-IVS L9.12

Work:

L’Arche Belfast are actively looking for live-in assistants to join their thriving community. We need people who are willing to spend a year in Northern Ireland living either in their L’Arche houses alongside our core members or within their volunteer house. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience community life, deep friendships and really make a difference.

As a live-in assistant, you will provide hands-on assistance with daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking or personal care and can expect to also enjoy the little things like chatting over a lovely cup of tea.

You may also accompany core members to their activities such as gardening, cooking, art or yoga to name a few.

Accommodation and food

L’Arche Belfast have five supported living houses in which the core members live. These are known as the Ember, Wee Ember, Hearth, Lantern and Crann House. There is a volunteer room available in both the Ember and Hearth where you can truly experience living within community alongside core members. There is also a dedicated volunteer house known as the Ark which has five volunteer bedrooms. Volunteers will have the option of cooking their own meals or joining the community meals in the houses.
