Volunteer Membership Roles
GMCDP has a great volunteer opportunity for someone who enjoys working with GMCDP’s members. We are looking for a person / group of people who are able to support and develop other disabled people to reach their full potential. As an organization, we focus on those who have experienced disabling barriers. We are looking for a confident and driven person who is both supportive and encouraging. Working as part of a small team, we are looking for self-motivated people that could help support the work of GMCDP’s Membership Worker.
Hours: 4-8 hours a month to get the best out of the experience but this is entirely down to you.
Location: Manchester and/or Remote
Days: Flexible
