Help a not-for-profit reach more people who need affordable counselling. Run the outreach and listings that connect struggling adults to qualified, low-cost support.
What you will do.
Referral partnerships (the main task). Each week, email a small batch of relevant organisations (charities, social prescribers, advice services, housing providers, universities) to introduce Flourish as a referral option, using our ready-made templates and contact list. Follow up once and track responses. This is friendly relationship-building, not hard selling.
Directory listings. Create and keep Flourish's profiles up to date on counselling and wellbeing directories, using our master profile copy so everything stays consistent.
Reviews. Run our gentle, ethical review-request process and keep a simple record.
Drafting for the founder to approve. Draft short responses to journalist requests and occasional LinkedIn posts in the founder's voice, ready for her quick sign-off. We provide an expert toolkit, including bios and key messages, to make this easy.
Light reporting. Keep a simple tracker of activity and enquiries so we can see what is working.
You will not be asked to provide counselling, give clinical advice, or speak publicly as an expert yourself; the founder remains the named voice.
Who we are looking for.
Organised and reliable, comfortable working through a list methodically.
Confident, warm written English; able to write a friendly, professional email.
Comfortable with spreadsheets, web forms and email; quick to learn simple online tools.
Self-motivated and able to work independently and remotely.
In sympathy with our mission of accessible mental health support.
No counselling or marketing qualification is needed. Experience in admin, communications, community work, fundraising or customer service is welcome but not essential.
What you will gain.
Real, visible social impact: your work connects people to affordable support.
Practical experience in outreach, partnerships, digital marketing and communications.
Flexible, fully remote hours that fit around your life.
A reference and demonstrable results for your CV or portfolio.
Being part of a friendly, values-led not-for-profit.
Time commitment and format.
Around half a day to one day a week, flexible, at times that suit you.
Fully remote, anywhere in the UK.
Voluntary role (unpaid). We will cover any agreed expenses.
We ask for a minimum commitment of around three months so relationships can build.

Have you been Bereaved by Suicide for 2 years or longer? Do you have a desire to help other people who have also been Bereaved by Suicide? Are you comfortable listening to the experiences of others? You could be just the person we are looking for.
We have self-help support groups across the UK, where you can meet with other people who have been bereaved by suicide and we want to enrol some new volunteers to join our Alnwick Support group. The group meet once a month and last for around 2 hours. They provide an opportunity to listen, to share, to ask questions and to connect with others.
Each local SoBS group is run by a team of 3, all of whom have been bereaved by suicide themselves. Between them, they facilitate the session, get the conversation started, make sure everyone has the opportunity to talk if they want to, and generally look out for people and each other. The team also work together to manage the administration, fundraising and communication for the group, sometimes with the help of additional support volunteers.
There is no set structure to a session – people are free to talk and listen as they wish. The topics discussed vary from month to month but often includes people sharing their story, how they are feeling, what has happened since their last group visit.
Our mission is simple - that no one has to go through losing someone to suicide alone. We work to break the isolation and stigmas around suicide loss.

Supporting our children’s teachers or workshop facilitators in the planning or delivery of classes or excursions outside of camps

In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.
