Men’s Group Self-advocacy Assistant

• Advocating Together (Dundee) SCIO

• VO106031

We’re currently looking for volunteers to support a men’s group for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.
Topics discussed in the group could be mental health, physical health, local services, national campaigns. Groups might also invite in guest speakers. The group help decide the topics.
This role involves providing direct peer support to our men's group where a man is essential to the effectiveness of the service. This is to ensure confidentiality and trust to members of the group.
This group will run once a month and require approximately 3 hours of volunteering a month. You will work with staff to prepare discussions and activities for the group and deliver them to the group, or support guest speakers visiting the group. These groups allow our members to speak out about a variety of topics that are important to them. We do not offer advice but can give members information or signpost them.

Experience required

Induction training is provided, but a volunteer should be confident in facilitating a group and have an interest in advocacy and rights. Volunteers should value inclusion and equity.
