Help shape the future of volunteering at Samaritans.
At Samaritans, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. As the needs of communities evolve, so must the ways in which people can connect, contribute and make a difference. We’re looking for a Volunteering Innovation Advisor to help us imagine, design and embed what volunteering could look like in the years ahead.

You’ll contribute to developing new and flexible models of volunteering—ensuring we reach more people, remove barriers to involvement, and create opportunities that are equally meaningful and sustainable.
