LGBTQIA+ Peer Support Group Facilitator

Part of a new programme from South East London Mind, Queer Minds is monthly peer support group facilitated by and for members of the LGBTQIA+ communities who live, work or play in Lambeth & Southwark and have experienced or are experiencing challenges with their mental health.

We are seeking a Peer Support Group Facilitator to deliver our Queer Minds groups. Supported by a voluntary co-facilitator, you will establish a safe and welcoming space for people from the LGBTQIA+ community who may be isolated or lacking in confidence because of their mental health, supporting their recovery by encouraging shared learning and social networks, and their autonomy to define their own identifies and diverse experiences.

You will support the volunteer co-facilitator to ensure that the service is running efficiently, including the regular distribution and collection of questionnaires and feedback required for reporting purposes, and supporting members with any signposting requirements.

Outside the forum, you will be responsible for managing the service email inbox and database including answering queries, processing referrals, carrying out eligibility screening, monitoring the waiting list and inputting and keeping all database member and service records up to date.

Please head to our website for more information on our Queer Minds programme.

Successful applicants will be expected to undergo an Enhanced Level Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Closing date: Thursday 19th September (11:59pm)

Likely interview date:  Wednesday 25th September at Impact Brixton
