Project description:
FADEAM- Fundación Els Avets de Moià is a non-profit public utility, partially funded by the Government of Catalonia. The attention is based on the relationship established with the people with disabilities in order to achieve a household and integrative dimension. Our aim is to offer to the people with intellectual disabilities in our region and surroundings a place to live and work and help in their integration into society. We also have a large team of professionals to aid people and volunteers.

Tasks:
The volunteers will take part in daily activities related to attention to the people with disabilities, activities in the community, the home dynamics and teamwork.
1. Attention to the people:
– Support to staff in charge of accompanying users in their daily activities.
– Help with the monitoring of the PIR (individual programme)
2. Home dynamics:
– Help with the quality of the co-existence and relations in the home.
– Collaborate in planning activities in and outside the home
3. Team work :
– Participate with all the home team
– Participate actively in all meetings proposed
4. Material matters:
– Within the global educational project of the centre, collaborate with the care of the house, equipment, garden…
These activities are not routine, as this is a comprehensive daily life project where all activities are related with a relational and vital living model.
5. Community matters:
– Collaborate in maintaining an attitude of respect and openness to know the characteristics of the Arche communities – Participate in community activities such as feasts, fairs, celebrations, community meetings…
