Back
The Listening Place is a volunteer-led charity aiming to transform how we support people who feel suicidal. We are currently seeking people to join our team as Helping Volunteers. Helping Volunteers are a vital part of shifts here at The Listening Place; in this role, you will be responsible for welcoming visitors onto our premises, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere (along with a cup of tea), and supporting our Listening Volunteers to help everything run smoothly.
It is important that you are proactive, reliable, a self-starter and a team player. A basic understanding of IT is also required. We will provide training of our systems. No formal qualifications are necessary for the role.
Helping Volunteers can find a sense of purpose and fulfilment as a result of the difference they're making to our suicidal visitors. The Listening Place is a welcoming and vibrant community of volunteers, where our volunteers can make new friends.
No prior experience or qualifications are necessary, but we do ask for a weekly commitment of four hours for a period of at least six months. If you are passionate about helping others and making a difference in the lives of those in need, we would love to have you on board as a Helping Volunteer.
