Parkrun Volunteer
Do you participate in parkrun? Want to support Oxfordshire Mind whilst staying active?
Our Events and Fundraising Volunteers represent Oxfordshire Mind at a range of events. We’re looking for Events and Fundraising Volunteers to represent Oxfordshire Mind at parkruns across Oxfordshire. They participate in parkruns whilst helping to raise our profile in the community and support people to become more active.
You will be:
- Representing Oxfordshire Mind at Oxfordshire parkruns
- Providing a friendly face to new and existing parkrunners and signposting them to support as necessary
- Promoting the benefits of physical activity for mental health
- Supporting your own physical and mental health by optionally taking part in parkrun too!
Time commitment: There is no minimum time commitment, just sign up to any parkruns you are interested in. Parkruns take place at weekends so this is an ideal opportunity for those working or studying full-time.
Location: Various locations around Oxfordshire (currently Oxford, Abingdon and Banbury but other locations possible). Travel expenses reimbursed.
Skills needed: You will be friendly, approachable and a great team player. It would be ideal to be familiar with parkrun already.
Training and support: A briefing and any necessary training before your first event is provided.
Application process: Informal phone interview and a DBS check.
Next Steps! You don’t need to fill in an application form to get involved with this role. Just pop us an email at volunteering@oxfordshiremind.org.uk and we’ll arrange an informal chat!
