Job description

We are looking for commitee members to help make decisions and plan how the finances of the groups are managed. We  also need volunteers to help at activities.

Why we want you

Local groups across the UK are run by volunteers and offer friendship and support to people living with Parkinson's and their families and friends. The friendly faces and warm welcome provided by branch volunteers means attendees get the most from the group, with the activities on offer running smoothly.

What you will be doing

  • Core to group meetings, you'll help set up the venue, offering a warm welcome to all attendees
  • Assist with fundraising events
  • Getting involved in the activities the group offers - joining in to get the most out of these for you too

The skills you need

  • Good communication skills
  • Supportive; able to listen to the needs of people with Parkinson's, and reflect these to the group to shape the support provided
  • Honest; you'll know when to ask for help, or when tasks might be seen as less important, and able to share that with Parkinson's UK and your group

What's in it for you

  • You'll make new friends and meet new people, both in the branch and in the local community
  • You'll be making a real difference for people affected by Parkinson's in your community
  • Developing valuable organisational and people skills
  • You'll be part of a movement of people improving the lives of people affected by Parkinson's
  • You'll be able to take part in the activities of the group
