Job description
Join our dynamic and growing charity in the heart of East London, using your outstanding community training, mindfulness and wellbeing expertise to provide transformative experiences for groups of around 12 isolated, lonely older people. You will have strong experience of group facilitation, and may have qualifications and experience in therapeutic work, community work, and/or working with elderly or disabled people. Breathworks mindfulness training would be useful, but training can be provided. As a warm, compassionate person, you’ll be great at building connections with people from all walks of life. Working to an established outline, you’ll deliver high quality 6-week courses and blocks of follow-on sessions which stimulate reflection, sharing, active listening, challenge, and very gentle physical activity, plus occasional 1:1 participant support through telephone calls or local walks. Supported by regular professional supervision, from time to time you’ll draw on your experience of working with vulnerable groups to respond to safeguarding issues, within GCP’s established frameworks. We particularly welcome applications from Bangla speakers.
