Support & Wellbeing Group Volunteer for Trans+ Charity

Volunteers needed to assist at a wellbeing peer support group for Trans+ Charity. Are you a passionate supporter of the trans+ community? Whether you’re trans+ or cis, part of the queer community or a straight ally, Beyond Reflections would love to have you join our team of dedicated volunteers. Our in person, wellbeing groups offer a supportive environment for trans, non-binary and questioning members who are experiencing similar situations. Participants can share their experiences, gain peer support and find comfort in a non-judgmental setting. Working with a more experienced group leader you would assist with the general running of the group, listening to members concerns and celebrating their victories, helping them gain perspective, build resilience, and reach a point where they no longer need our support. It will enable you to build your confidence and increase your skills in active listening and empathic response. This is an on-site opportunity, that will require you to be available specific times during the weekday evening, totalling to two hours a fortnight, or four hours a month, when groups are being ran. Specific times and dates will be discussed with you during the onboarding process.

Skills

This role requires empathy, excellent communication skills, and the ability to create a nurturing atmosphere. You will also use O365 for basic admin. In return, we offer training on Trans+ Awareness, Support Skills Training, Development Days and Volunteer Socials.
