Tinnitus Support Group Facilitator

Tinnitus UK are setting up Tinnitus Support groups across Cornwall 

The groups will enable people to better manage their Tinnitus and provide an opportunity to meet and get inspiration from others living with Tinnitus. Group facilitators may organise occasional talks or sessions from guest attendees on subjects such as as mindfulness, hearing care and relaxation

There will be ideally two volunteers per group and roles will be split between volunteers .

Volunteers could  :

• meet and greet 
• facilitate a 90-minute support group session each month or two monthly
• enable meeting to share reliable information to support group members and signpost them to information and services as needed
• make sure everyone has a chance to speak, and ensuring that the group is a safe space for discussion
• organise speakers
• follow the Tinnitus UK’s confidentiality, data protection, and safeguarding guidelines  
• get additional support from our online 3 monthly meetings with other Tinnitus Support Group volunteers from throughout the UK

Total volunteer time commitment  should be no more than a few hours each month plus attending initial training and online training as needed
