Volunteer for LawCare

We are looking for two new helpline volunteers to cover shifts on Wednesday afternoons (12.45-5.00pm) or Thursday mornings (8.45am-1.00pm). You should be patient and empathetic, a good listener, and have experience of working in the legal profession in the UK. All training will be provided.

If you have experienced challenges or mental health issues yourself you should be two years' clear of these before applying. 

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 looking for a couple of new online chat volunteers. This involves a three-hour shift at the same time each week during which you must be at your computer the whole time. Shifts are 9-12, 11.20-2.30, and 2-5 on weekdays. You should be patient and empathetic, a good listener, comfortable with using online chat as a user, and have experience of working in the legal profession in the UK. All training will be provided.

If you have experienced challenges or mental health issues yourself you should be two years' clear of these before applying.
