The Group Coordinator will lead the West Hertfordshire Support Group, working with fellow volunteers to play a key role for our Parkinson's community locally
Create a safe space for your Parkinson’s community.
Our groups offer vital friendship and support and, as a Group Coordinator, you'll lead a collaborative team of volunteers, making shared decisions to ensure activities are safe and inclusive. You’ll be responding to the unique needs of people living with Parkinson's, right where you are.
Lead a friendly team, make a big impact and build a community as a Lead Volunteer. You’ll be supported every step of the way by your fellow volunteers, a named Parkinson’s UK Staff Contact and essential training, so you won’t be alone.
We particularly welcome applications from people living in the West Hertfordshire area (St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, and the surrounding towns and villages) who can easily travel to the Group's main monthly meetings in St Albans.
‘It’s a fantastic feeling when someone new comes to their first meeting. They're usually nervous or unsure what to expect, Yet, they tend to leave with a smile on their face, more confident and with a lot of new friends. They have found somewhere safe where no one sees them just for their Parkinson’s.’ Tony, Support Group Coordinator.
