Community Group Volunteer - Basingstoke

We are currently looking for a volunteer to support our Serendipity Community Group in Basingstoke.

We need organised and passionate individuals who want to support and/or facilitate community groups for autistic adults in their local community.

Our groups are designed to help autistic adults to meet in a welcoming and non-judgmental setting. We need friendly and caring volunteers to make this happen.

What you will be doing?

• Welcoming new members to the group and help them settle in.
• Supporting members to participate in group activities.
• Helping with suggestions about new group activities.
• Sending feedback about the group to Autism Hampshire staff.
• Keeping an accurate record of attendance at the group.
• Reporting any concerns to Autism Hampshire staff.

The existing Basingstoke Serendipity Community Group runs twice a month on Mondays from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.

We are also starting a brand new second group which will be held on a weekday evening, twice a month, from 5pm to 7pm.

Full training for the role will be provided with regular quarterly training sessions.

Whilst we value regular commitment, you will be joining a team, so you do not need to be available for every session. Please make your availability known to Autism Hampshire staff when registering your interest.
