• Social Support Group Coordination: Organise and facilitate ONLINE social support groups, creating a safe and welcoming space for members to connect, share and support one another. In-person groups may also be offered in some local areas, such as Auckland and Whakatāne.
• Community Engagement: Build positive relationships with members, whānau, and other volunteers, while promoting connection and inclusiveness.
• Support Local Events: Attending occasional gatherings, awareness activities, or information sessions in your area.

Ideal Attributes: • Empathetic, trustworthy, and a good listener. • Confident in communicating with people from all walks of life. • Organised and self-motivated, with the ability to work independently. • Respectful of confidentiality and diversity. • Experience with community support or lived experience of chronic illness is a bonus, but not essential.

What We Offer: • Training, resources, and ongoing support from our team. • A flexible volunteer role that fits around your lifestyle. • The opportunity to make a real and lasting difference in your community.

If you're ready to help others feel supported and connected, we’d love to hear from you!
