Volunteer for LawCare

We're looking for a helpline volunteer who can cover the Wednesday morning shift, 8.45am-1.00pm. You should be someone who works or has worked in law and who has natural empathy and a desire to support others. Knowledge of active listening or counselling skills is also helpful. If you have been through mental health, addiction or similar issues yourself you should have two years symptom-free, sober, or clear of these issues. You will  also need to have time available to attend training and supervision sessions. LawCare helpline volunteers work from home using their own phone and equipment, and all training is delivered online.

We are not currently looking for new peer supporters except for those who have personal experience of going through the disciplinary process, either with their employer or the regulator.  Disciplinary proceedings can be especially stressful and taxing and we hope to put together a cohort of trained peer supporters with this particular specialism. 

We are not currently looking for new online chat volunteers.
