Become a driving force for a vibrant volunteering community here at Doncaster Mind! 

We are looking for someone who genuinely loves connecting with others and is passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of people in Doncaster to join our team as Volunteer Coordinator. 

With our mission to make sure no one has to face a mental health difficulty alone, we are proud and privileged to be able to offer a number of differing services, to support individuals and families throughout Doncaster.

Woven within these services are the valuable contributions of time, skills and experience from people who so generously volunteer with us.

There are roles within fundraising, mentoring (adults and children and young people), counselling, group facilitations, admin, governance of the organisation and wellbeing events & activities and within Settle – a project supporting people whose first language isn’t English.  

Volunteering is a means to envelop the 5 ways to wellbeing; It comprises of connection, getting active, taking notice, learning and giving back. Our volunteers include students of all ages, people who are on placement, learning or have expertise in key areas whilst giving back, as well as people who have retired, those who are looking for work experience and people with lived experience of ill mental health, who wish to support others who may be going through similar circumstances.  Regardless of the reason why, we recognise the value of what is shared, and we are extremely grateful for all who offer the gift of volunteering.  In return, we provide training, opportunities to develop, peer support and expenses paid, however we are aware we could do more…

 This year, Doncaster Mind are keen to diversify and increase our volunteer base to ensure that our organisation represents the communities we support, whilst looking to further enhance the opportunities we provide for those who wish to join our team. To do this, we are recruiting a dedicated Volunteer Coordinator who will take the lead on developing our new Volunteer hub and put us front and centre, for anyone looking for a worthy cause to support.
