Online Support Group Volunteer for Trans+ Charity

Assistant Group Leaders needed for online 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 online 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 a remote 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.

What skills do I need?

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.
