Support people. Strengthen communities. Help prevent suicide.
Every week, someone reaches out to Hector's House because they are experiencing emotional distress, worried about someone they love, or trying to make sense of a suicide loss.
The response they receive can make all the difference.
We are looking for a compassionate, organised and proactive Support Coordinator to join our small but ambitious team and help us reach more people across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
This is a role where your work will have a direct and visible impact. You might be supporting someone experiencing emotional distress, helping coordinate a support group, assisting people to access the right help, or contributing to community activities that increase awareness and understanding of suicide prevention.
About Hector's House
Hector's House was founded in 2016 by the family and friends of Hector Stringer, who died by suicide aged 18.
Today, we are a trusted local charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting people affected by suicide across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire
Everything we do is rooted in our local communities. We are supported by local people, businesses, schools, community groups and volunteers who share our belief that suicide is preventable and that nobody should face difficult times alone.
Last year we reached more than 2,500 people through our awareness, education and support services.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple message: there is hope.
The Role
Working closely with our Support Lead, you will play a central role in delivering support to people experiencing emotional distress, those at risk of suicide, and people affected by suicide.
You will help coordinate and deliver one-to-one and group support, respond to enquiries, maintain accurate records, liaise with partner organisations, and contribute to the continued development of our services.
As a new role within the charity, this is an opportunity to help shape how support is delivered in the future.
About Working Here
We're a small team by design, which means everyone has a voice and everyone contributes. We work collaboratively, support one another and share a commitment to making the greatest possible difference for the people and communities we serve.
You'll have the opportunity to take ownership, contribute ideas, develop new approaches and help shape the future of our services.
Who We're Looking For
