Help make sure no one has to face a mental health difficulty alone.

Our therapy service is growing fast and we’re looking for a passionate individual to join our friendly team.
At Doncaster Mind, we believe that no one should have to face a mental health difficulty alone. As our therapy service continues to grow, we're looking for a passionate Volunteer Team Assistant to join our friendly Rise Therapy team.

This is an opportunity to gain valuable experience, develop new skills and contribute to life-changing mental health support for people across Doncaster. Every hour you give helps us reach more people who need support, while providing you with meaningful experience within a supportive and inclusive organisation.

Volunteering with Doncaster Mind is an opportunity to make a real difference while investing in your own personal and professional development. You'll receive:

• A structured induction, training and ongoing support
• Experience in administration, communication and community engagement
• Opportunities to develop digital, organisational and promotional skills
• Experience within a respected local mental health charity
• The chance to work alongside experienced professionals
• The satisfaction of supporting your local community and improving access to mental health support

Whether you're looking to gain experience for future employment, develop existing skills, explore a career in the charity or mental health sector, or simply want to make a positive difference, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

As a Volunteer Team Assistant, you'll help support the smooth running and promotion of our Rise Therapy Service. This varied role may include:
• Supporting day-to-day client enquiries
• Assisting with appointment management
• Preparing therapy rooms and resources
• Helping maintain social media and website content
• Supporting community outreach and promotional activity across Doncaster
• Assisting with feedback collection and data input
• Helping create a welcoming, organised experience for clients

No two days are the same, and you'll always be supported by the Rise Therapy Service Co-ordinator and the wider Doncaster Mind team. Ideally we're looking for someone to work in the office with us as part of our team for 4 - 10 hours per week.
