Volunteer for MindOut!
We are now recruiting for Online Support Workers and Peer Mentors to join our team of LGBTQ volunteers.
Our Online Support service offers one-to-one support and information for people all around the UK, and sometimes from around the world. We are open most evenings from around 5.30pm, and offer weekly trans, BAME and Under 30s sessions.
Our Peer Mentoring service offers people the opportunity to be matched with a mentor who will be able to support them with something difficult they are facing. This might be getting out and socialising a bit more, or going through a difficult time, or something else. Peer Mentors offer one-to-one support and can help reduce isolation and loneliness.
Full training and supervision will be offered for both roles.
We particularly welcome applications from people over 50 and trans and non-binary people as these groups are currently underrepresented in our volunteer team.

Volunteers will normally work in pairs to support each other when talking to contacts. Regular supervision and team meetings, as well as full training, is provided.
We positively welcome applicants over the age of 50, those who identify as trans or non-binary, and people of colour.
