Volunteers

LGBTQ+ Mental Health & Wellbeing Group Worker

Our LGBTQ+ drop-in is a mental health and wellbeing group, which brings together LGBTQ+ residents to reduce social isolation. The drop-in runs every Thursday afternoon, between 24pm, and is currently a mixture of online and in-person sessions.

We often have talks on topics like benefits advice or sexual health and relationships. We run art workshops, music appreciation sessions, and sometimes go on trips to museums and parks. We are keen to offer additional wellbeing activities, such as guided walks, Tai Chi taster sessions, and book groups. 

We are looking for a Mental Health & Wellbeing Volunteer to support the running of the group.

  • Duties will include
  • Welcoming members to the group and creating a friendly, inclusive space
  • Helping to plan and deliver wellbeing activities and sessions, based on the group members’ interests
  • Identifying support needs of group members and signposting to relevant local services
  • Providing emotional support to group members
  • Helping group members to fill in simple forms, or make phone calls on their behalf, when needed
  • Referring group members to the mental health coordinator for additional support if required
  • Undertaking regular supervision and debrief meetings 

Deadline

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
