Do you want to help create better well-being among children of primary school age? And do group dynamics, conversation and pleasant company sound good to you?

Then you might be one of our next volunteer group leaders in a Well-Being Group. The demand for the groups is high and that is why we now need new volunteers.

The well-being groups are a collaboration between Selvhjælp Fredericia-Middelfart and schools that have accepted in Fredericia and Middelfart Municipality.

• The Well-being groups are held at schools in Middelfart/Fredierica municipality. The groups are jointly led by a volunteer and an employee from the school. A Well-being Group meets approximately 10 times for a couple of hours once a week, usually during school hours.
• Most Well-being Groups are divorce groups, but the theme can also be loneliness, bullying or psychological vulnerability in the family.

Your tasks as a group leader:

• Listening and talking to children about difficult things in their everyday lives
• Use different tools, games, plays, video clips, stories, etc. to help children put into words the feelings they have
• Participate in teamwork with the other group leader employed at the school
• Create a nice and safe space where children are happy to come

We expect you to:

• Want to work with children and can understand the frustrations and dilemmas children face
• Is appreciative and present and can help create a safe and confidential space for the children
• Is responsible, has mental strength and is a good listener
• Are in the age group 30+ and preferably retired.
• Can set boundaries, create calm and structure

We offer you:

• An introductory course that will prepare you for the task
• Regular sparring and support
• A meaningful job where you help children and young people
• Collaboration with an employed group leader who is passionate about the same things as you
• Opportunity for exciting courses
• Inspirational evenings with various exciting presentations and speakers and a summer party and cafe for volunteers.
• Becoming part of a volunteer network and an association

It is not a requirement that you have experience/professionalism in the field. We are more interested in who you are as a person, but experience/professionalism is also very welcome.

You can also read more and watch a film that has been made about the well-being groups on our website.
