Raise any wellbeing, safeguarding, or technical concerns to the lead peer supporter or staff member as appropriate.
What We Are Looking For:
Good listening and communication skills.
A calm, supportive, and non-judgemental approach.
Confidence using video meeting platforms (such as Zoom/Google Meet or similar), or willingness to learn.
An interest in supporting Autistic parents .
Lived experience of being an Autistic Parent .
Reliability and ability to work collaboratively with a lead peer supporter.

We are particularly keen to hear from people who would be able to support a group for those who identify as "Dad's and Father's"
This is a flexible, remote volunteering opportunity. Volunteers are asked to attend agreed video sessions, with regular or occasional commitment discussed in advance. Expected time commitment 1-2 hours a month.
Full training and support will be given. Regular oppourtunities for reflection with our Volunteer Coordinator
