To ensure Samaritans is representative of those we support and who support us, we particularly welcome applications from disabled, racialised minority and LGBTQ+ candidates, as these people are under-represented at Samaritans.

​Application: 

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, please upload your CV and a cover letter (one page), outlining your motivations for applying and why you think you would be a great fit for the role. Applications close at 9 am on Monday 28th July. Video interviews taking place on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August.  

Whilst we appreciate that the use of generative AI functions like ChatGPT is quickly becoming part of working life for many people, through our recruitment process we want to see your own unique ideas and writing skills. We want your application to stand out from the rest and showcase your own strengths. Therefore, we kindly ask that you don’t rely on AI tools for your application answers, cover letter or to generate interview answers.
