We need either a part-qualified Junior Accountant/Trainee Accountant, or an experienced Bookkeeper, to work part-time (0.4 FTE/ 2 days per week). If you are passionate about mental health and have the finance experience we are looking for, The Listening Place would love to hear from you.

Our volunteers stop people who are feeling suicidal from having to silently suffer alone. They do this through free, ongoing, confidential listening sessions, which take place face-to-face at our two main locations in central London (Pimlico/Bloomsbury). Our volunteers are empathic and non-judgemental, but also are respectful of suicidal people keeping control of their life and choices.

Our wonderful staff team is small but rapidly growing, with a values-driven and hard-working culture. Employees' work supports a large team (300+ active) of warm, brilliant and highly-dedicated dedicated volunteers. The potential scale of the need for our support is enormous, and we offer a unique and volunteer-led service to our visitors.

Support has continued throughout the pandemic. Staff are largely based out of an office near Victoria station, with social distancing and with some roles working remotely.

You would report to the Operations Manager, and would also have the experienced support and professional oversight of a fully-qualified accountant, who gives their time pro-bono as a volunteer... Your contribution to the team will be vital in meeting ongoing reporting requirements for our charity internally and externally, as well as playing a key part in supporting our very successful fundraising team.

If you want to use your skills in a motivating environment, making a real difference to the lives of people who are in a time of suicidal crisis - this may be the job for you.
