Volunteer With Us

We’re looking to recruit Parenting Facilitators to:

• Work with other facilitators to deliver parenting course content to groups of parents/carers, either in person or online. Courses are typically delivered over 5 weeks, with a single 2 hour session each week. Course content and resources are prepared ready for you to use.
• Create safe, non-judgemental spaces for parents/carers to share experiences and to learn positive parenting strategies together.
• Provide support to parents/carers during the courses, being sensitive to individual circumstances.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Empathetic: people who can relate to family life. You might be a parent or carer or have experience working alongside families, children or young people.
• Clear communicators: previous experience of facilitating or teaching is helpful, but not essential as training will be provided.
• Non-judgemental and sensitive: people who have good listening skills, and who recognise that family situations are complex and varied.
• Willing to uphold the values and ethos of Family Matters York. Although we are a Christian organisation, we welcome volunteers of all faiths or none.

DBS checks will be required as part of the application process
