Job description

This role involves supporting small, topic-based video peer support groups for Autistic parents . Volunteers work alongside a lead peer supporter, acting as a second group supporter to help sessions run smoothly and ensure participants feel welcomed, supported, and able to take part.

The role focuses on peer support, shared experience, and gentle co-facilitation, rather than leading or moderating the group.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Attend scheduled video peer support group sessions alongside a lead peer supporter.

  • Support the facilitation of group discussions by encouraging participation and helping conversations flow naturally.

  • Help create a warm, inclusive, and supportive environment where participants feel safe to share.

  • Offer empathetic peer support and appropriate contributions based on lived experience, where relevant.

  • Provide light technical support during sessions where needed (for example, helping participants with audio, video, or platform features).

  • Support group structure by helping to keep discussions aligned with the session topic and time boundaries.

  • 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.

Support and Matching:
You will be supported by a lead peer supporter during sessions, with training, guidance, and ongoing support provided. We aim to match volunteers with group topics that align with their interests and experiences wherever possible. Groups include EHCP's and Working with professionals, Parenting Teens, 0-5's. 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
