**About us**

Big Life is in the business of changing lives. We fight inequality by working with people and places to create opportunities and inspire change. Whatever service we deliver to help people to change their lives, we do things the Big Life Way.

Big Life Centres represent where Big Life began, delivering services to people in Hulme and Moss Side in Manchester from two community centres. Those services were set up to do something different; we realised that people were sick and tired of waiting for support and wanted to find their own solutions. Our Drop-in Groups recognised that people often faced a variety of difficulties, but they also had strengths and things to give. They were people, not problems. Originally developed in 1995 by Nicky Lidbetter, Big Life’s Director of Mental Health these groups remain a crucial part of our services over a quarter of a century later.

**What you’ll be doing**

As a Drop-In Group Facilitator at Wythenshawe Forum Library, Manchester you will be co-facilitating a group and making a real difference in the lives of our community members. You will facilitate the group for two and a half hours per week and be supporting the group with the activities. There are two posts available for this Saturday morning drop-in group.

**What we need from you**
- You will co-facilitate group meetings each week for two hours.
- You will encourage engagement in activities and services by and for local people.
- You will manage incidents and safeguarding concerns with a co-facilitator in accordance with Big Life’s operating procedures.
- You will participate in local networks and partnerships with relevant organisations to promote the group.
- You will collate information on the needs and interests of the community through monitoring attendance and collecting quarterly evaluation forms from group members.
- You will have good communication and listening skills.
- You will have basic literacy, numeracy, and administration skills.
- You will be committed to working within Big Life’s vision and values.

**What we will offer you in return**
- Real living wage
- A happy, welcoming staff team
- The support of the Big Life Group
- Further training and development

**What next?**

We are looking for an individual who has experienced mental health challenges, as your personal journey will bring a unique and valuable perspective to our Wythenshawe Drop-in Group. You will facilitate the group for two and a half hours every Saturday, and we trust that you can be relied upon to fulfil your commitments.

Your health and happiness is important to us, so we offer a comprehensive staff wellbeing package.
