We’re currently recruiting LGBT+ Group Facilitators to join our amazing and dynamic volunteer team at ELOP! ELOP is an award-winning LGBT Mental Health and Wellbeing Charity with 26 years of experience in supporting LGBT+ communities across London and surrounding areas. Volunteering in this role will give you opportunities including: - contributing & supporting the planning & promotion of group programmes - help in organising & facilitating sessions, along with supporting & enabling the involvement, voice & inclusion of all members attending - ensuring a welcome, supported, safe and comfortable environment for all. Each of ELOP’s dedicated groups or meet-ups run planned activities that supports shared interaction, positive identities and a feeling of being valued. You may already have some previous experience of activity facilitation, which is fantastic; however it isn’t necessary to come with all the skills & experiences already on board, just a friendly & outgoing personality with good communication abilities, the rest you’ll be supported to develop. Respecting diversity, understanding and upholding professional boundaries and confidentiality are fundamental to all of our work and you will be required to support this.

Respecting diversity & valuing the lived experiences of LGBT+ people, understanding & upholding professional boundaries and confidentiality are fundamental to all of our work and you will be required to support this.
Our activities are delivered on various days and times across the week and on weekends, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. We know life can be busy, but we ask all group volunteers to make a 6-12 month minimum commitment or around 2-3 hours a week on average.
