Are you passionate about supporting women who have been subjected to domestic abuse regain ownership of their lives? Would you like to help us with our vision where we live in a world where all are educated in all forms of domestic abuse and it is no longer tolerated, accepted or present in society? Would you like a role where your contribution is appreciated? Would you like to volunteer in a friendly, supportive and safe environment with great learning and training opportunities? Would you like a chance to meet new people whilst also making a huge difference? Are you someone who has experienced domestic abuse or someone who can empathise?
We are looking for a positive, outgoing and empathetic person to join our volunteer team. The role involves facilitating a regular walking group.This includes welcoming attendees, facilitating a walk and also a refreshment stop. The role involves checking in on our clients mental and emotional health and giving our clients a chance to talk while getting some light exercise. You may wish to have a focus during the walk such as self love, mindfulness etc. This role requires an open and non judgemental approach with a positive outlook, to build trust and ensure the provision of a safe and supportive environment. As such we are looking for someone with good interpersonal skills, a forward thinker with similar experience of either attending a similar group or enjoying the outdoors.
While monthly volunteer supervision will be provided by a trauma-informed coach we encourage those applying to have a strong awareness of their boundaries in order to protect their own mental health.
