Switchboard need trans and/or non-binary volunteers

Gary Hart November 8, 2018

Switchboard need trans and/or non-binary volunteers needed for their Trans Survivors drop-in service.

SWITCHBOARD are expanding their Trans Survivors Drop-In service! They need trans and/or non-binary Peer Facilitators to support a unique new group for transgender survivors.

In addition to their helpline offering support to trans and non-binary callers, from the end of November they’ll be offering a monthly drop-in space exclusively for trans and non-binary survivors of violence, crime and/or abuse, including sexual violence.

This is the first drop-in space in the UK which will specifically supports trans and non-binary survivors.

The Trans Survivors project is trans-led and always will be. They’re looking for trans and non-binary Peer Facilitators to help with the running of the group, to support group participants and to ensure the space is safe and inclusive. You’ll receive bespoke training on active listening, group facilitation and working alongside survivors, and you’ll be a vital part of shaping this new and necessary service.

Applications are open until November 12, and interviews will be held on November 14 and 15, depending on the availability of applicants.

Training consists of two dates between November 17 and 25, to be confirmed with successful applicants.
