Telephone Helpline Volunteer

Could you lend a listening ear once a week?

We're looking for compassionate volunteers to join our Helpline team, supporting adults who are reaching out on behalf of a bereaved child or young person. 

Just being available one day a week, from home, can make a world of difference to a family navigating grief. 

We're not an emergency service, so you'll have time to listen, understand, and offer thoughtful support - with the chance to follow up. 

Full training is provided, and you'll be part of a warm, supportive community. 

If you're empathetic, a good listener, and want to help families support their children, we'd love to hear from you.

Skills

  • Comfortable hearing about grief and loss.
  • Able to listen actively and non-judgmentally.
  • Ability to understand the feelings of others - sensitive to the emotional needs of grieving families.
