Our co-facilitator role involves co-facilitating a regular in-person meeting in the community. You will need to have personal experience of bipolar and excellent communication skills, including active listening. Ideally you will have some basic IT (Office 365 and Zoom) and some previous experience of running groups.
As part of the role there will be some monthly admin tasks: the completion of group reports, reporting of incidents during the meeting to Bipolar UK and sending group email reminders to members.
An ability to remain unbiased and objective in your approach is also essential in establishing a non-judgemental, safe environment, where attendees can share their experiences and support one another.
