I would recommend volunteering for Vitalise (check their Website). They have centres in Essex, Southport, Cornwall, Nottingham, Southampton. The organisation provides respite services for disabled people and their carers. As a volunteer, you would be expected to do alot of socialising with guests, help at mealtimes, and push wheelchairs on outings. Accommodation, meals and travel expenses are covered (You will get to do alot of sightseeing, because after all the guests are on holiday) . Minimum time is one week. Previous experience is not necessary, just enthusiasm and no criminal record.
I've also lived abroad for many years, ask me if you have questions about working in specific places and I might be able to help.
