CAPITAL is looking for a volunteer co-facilitator with lived experience of anorexia and stable recovery to help develop and deliver a new online peer support group for people living with, or recovering from, anorexia.
Working alongside another facilitator, you will help create a welcoming, confidential and non-judgemental space where participants can connect with others who understand, share experiences and build hope. Activities will include supportive group discussions and creative activities.
You will help welcome participants, encourage inclusive conversations and support a safe, recovery-focused environment. This is a peer support role, not a clinical or therapeutic position.
Full training, ongoing support and supervision will be provided. You do not need previous facilitation experience.
