Leicester, United Kingdom Creative Support Ltd Full time

Our Orchard House service is located within a busy local community. We’d really like to explore and help our Service users to access the activities and groups in the local area.
You will research the local area using a variety of different search methods including online searches, phone calls, and in person conversations to put together a community groups file.
Once you have put together a list of local connections you will work with our Service Users to make contact with the groups and coordinate their attendance, including planning travel to and from the group or activity, and if they need to provide any particular equipment for the session. For example, if joining a local walking group, you will help the service user to make contact with the group lead to find out where the group meets, what time, and if walking boots and waterproof clothing are needed.
• Scope the local area using a variety of research tools.
• Create a community groups list.
• As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer support network group on Zoom.
Monday to Friday, 2 days per week
Creative Support is a passionate, inclusive, and anti-racist organisation.
