This is predominantly a support role working alongside the Gym staff / coach, Wednesdays 10:30 to 11:30 AM. The volunteer ensures clients are welcomed and well received and acts as a recognised contact for attendees to go to, during the session. should they feel unwell or need additional support.
This group provides a safe non-judgemental environment for people to engage with nature through growing things and have an opportunity to mix and talk with others at the same time. The volunteering role supports the facilitator in all activities, welcoming attendees, checking in with each of them to see that they are OK and supporting them throughout their time at the group.
This role isn’t particularly demanding, however good people skills, common sense and the ability to get alongside others in a relaxed setting is something we look for. The volunteer role also includes a small amount of time either side of the group meeting to set up and pack away. Due to the nature of our work, this role would suit someone wanting a more medium to long term involvement. Some clients may have communication and confidence difficulties due to a number of health-related issues.
