Each year in the glorious Oxfordshire countryside, Oxford Mencap organizes 5 weeks of residential summer holidays for adults and children. Around 15–20 campers attend each week together with similar numbers of volunteers. These holidays have been running for over 25 years now and some of the campers really have been coming that long as well!

If you are a nurse qualified to give medication we would love your help. You will administer the regular medication for campers who bring medication with them and be the a point of call in an emergency. You’ll have the back up of the camp leaders, be paid £250 and get to enjoy all the other things we get up to on the camp.

This post provides excellent experience in administering to the medical needs of people with learning disabilities and would suit newly qualifieds.

Each week is packed with organized outings and activities. Last year included horse riding, the seaside, Longleat Safari Park, and a large outdoor maze to name just a few. In the evenings there are visits to the local pub and singing around the campfire. On the last evening of each week there is a traditional disco and barbecue where everyone gets dressed up, requests all their favourite tunes and dance the night away!

Our volunteers on camp are organized by a camp leader and supported by a cook and the nurse. Each volunteer is usually allocated to one camper for the week. There is a full briefing on the needs of all the campers before their arrival at the beginning of the week and you get to meet the parents before the week starts so that you can discuss the individual medical needs of the campers. Forms are sent to you ahead of camp so you can raise any questions ahead of the holidays.

The emphasis on Mencap holidays is on fun, friendships and new experiences. Although the holidays do require a lot of energy, they are also immensely rewarding. We are sure you will meet some great people - campers & volunteers! We aim to create a holiday that everyone benefits from and it would be great if you could join us.
