Headway Brain Injury Connect Group Co-ordinator
Headway’s Connect Groups are monthly 1 hour meet-ups where people living with brain injury can share experiences, support each other, and build confidence together.
We’re looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to help co-ordinate these gatherings. You’ll be the welcoming face of your local group - helping people feel comfortable and connected.
All admin and reminders are handled by the Headway team, so your focus is simply on people and connection.
If you’re someone who enjoys bringing others together and believes in the power of community, we’d love to hear from you.
One hour a month can make a real difference.
Someone who is:
- friendly, empathetic, and reliable
- comfortable supporting small group conversations
- has good communication skills
- can empower others rather than "do for". This is a support/co-ordinator role.
Lived experience of brain injury (personally or through whānau/friends) is welcomed but not required
1 hour - monthly meetings
30 mins - follow-up tasks. We ask that you send a short email after each Connect group with a very short summary and any follow up that headway needs to make.
Training and support is provided.
