Community Young Leader (Aberdeen)

As Diabetes UK’s leading charity, it’s our job to tackle the diabetes crisis. We’re here to prevent type 2 diabetes, campaign for and support everyone affected by diabetes, and fund research that will one day lead us to a cure.

This is an exciting opportunity for young people aged 18-25 with type 1 diabetes to be trained and supported to become peer support volunteers. This role specifically is focused on creating, coordinating and running local community groups for young people in your area. You will be given support and training to become a buddy to another young person with type 1 diabetes.

You will be helping people talk about their emotional wellbeing through fun and interactive activities online. This is part of a peer support project that aims to connect people on an individual level, a community level and at a national level.
