We are looking for around 10 volunteers to help us design and deliver peer support group workshops to people going through the direct payments process. We expect to deliver a core programme of four different workshops on a rolling basis;
1. How do direct payments work?
2. How do I recruit a PA?
3. Managing a PA
4. ‘Open’ session
The first stage will be to work with our Community Network Coordinator to create the workshops themselves, based on your lived experience. For this stage we can pay volunteers a small co-production fee.
The peer-support workshops themselves will probably be 2-3 hours long and delivered during working hours. You will need to be available to help jointly deliver workshops along with a 1-2 other volunteers and our Community Network Coordinator, Paul Ntulila We would ask that volunteers are able to commit to delivering at least one workshop a month.
If you are interested in supporting people who need help understanding the direct payments system, please get in touch with Paul at Disability Sheffield by emailing paul.ntulila@disabilitysheffield.org.uk
