This is a really exciting opportunity for people who have experience of arthritis whether personal or via family and friends - OR for those willing to learn - to provide peer support to others living with arthritis.
For a few hours each week - or less regularly if required - you will be helping us to run drop-ins in the West Berkshire area.
Arthritis Care provide full training and ongoing support and your role would usually cover:
• providing support at drop ins: sharing information and signposting to local services
• providing self-management tips
• there are further opportunities to provide telephone support and attend workshops - all with full training and support - should you wish to be involved in these. Travel expenses are also reimbursed.
We’re looking for people who ideally have experience with arthritis whether personal or via family and friends - OR for those willing to learn - who would like to meet and provide information for people living with the condition.
If you're friendly, helpful and approachable then you are just what we need.
If you enjoy getting out and about in your local community we would love to hear from you.
You will be supported by Arthritis Care staff at every drop in and we will make sure you are confident and comfortable before you start in your role.
If you feel the above role could be right for you please contact me for an informal chat:
Debbie Holden, Projects Coordinator Arthritis Care (West Berkshire), 07834 418450 or debbieh@arthritiscare.org.uk
