Job description

Are you interested in facilitating a peer support group for people who are struggling with their mental health? We are looking for passionate volunteers to facilitate a weekly online or face-to-face group, to discuss topics relating to mental health. We are hoping to find someone who has either ‘lived experience’ of mental health issues and is now at a positive place with their own recovery or someone who has good knowledge of mental health and looking to support others.

We work with people who need support with their mental health across London and the South East. Our support ranges from registered accommodation services for people with severe mental health conditions to drop-in community and crisis services.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating weekly peer support groups, covering topics related to mental health.
  • Promote a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental atmosphere where all members feel valued and heard
  • Encourage mutual support, active listening, and shared problem-solving within the group
  • Manage group dynamics sensitively, ensuring discussions remain constructive and inclusive
  • Collaborate with staff to monitor group wellbeing and escalate any concerns appropriately
  • Assist in planning and preparing for each session, including topic prompts or themes if needed
  • Maintain confidentiality in line with organisational policies and safeguarding standards.

The skills you need

  • Lived experience of mental health challenges is highly valued and can be a strong foundation for this role
  • Good communication and active listening skills
  • Ability to facilitate group discussions with empathy and patience
  • Understanding of boundaries and confidentiality in a mental health context.
  • A non-judgmental, supportive, and encouraging attitude
  • Experience in peer support or group facilitation is an advantage but not essential; training will be provided

What's in it for you

  • Supporting You - You will have a dedicated volunteer supervisor to support you in your role; Quarterly volunteer forums with the central Volunteering team and volunteers across Hestia; References for job applications
  • Developing You - You will gain knowledge and insight into issues that impact Domestic Abuse, Modern Slavery and Mental Health; You will have access to our extensive Learning and Development Programme; 40% of our departed volunteers secured a paid role at Hestia last year!
  • Valuing You - Valuing You - We hold annual Volunteer Awards, outings, celebration, and social events for our volunteers to get together and have some fun; We reimburse travel expenses and up to £5 for lunch for your volunteering.
