Online Youth Leader for Outpatients Battling Long-Term Illness London

Bright Futures UK (BFUK) supports children and young people back into education after taking time out due to a long-term mental health or physical condition. We provide support throughout young people's treatment and recovery, making sure they aren't worried about missing school and can focus on getting better! 

We need confident volunteers to facilitate young people getting to know each other and combat social isolation through fun activity challenges, breakout conversation rooms, and online games.

What You'll Do:

• Facilitate Sessions: Lead bi-weekly, hour-long online sessions with conversation topics and activities.
• Support and Engage: Create a supportive and inclusive environment where young people feel comfortable participating and expressing themselves.
• Encourage Participation: Actively encourage all participants to join in the activities and conversations, fostering a sense of community and connection.
• Monitor Progress: Monitor the group's dynamics and the participants' well-being, providing feedback and support as needed.
• Collaborate with Team: Work with the Bright Futures UK workshop coordinator to ensure the sessions align with the organization’s mission and goals.
•  

Details:

• Time Commitment: 1 hour bi-weekly.
• Location: Online, remote position. 
• Training: Full training provided, including safeguarding. Ideally to take place in London, however we are flexible to discuss this further if need be.
