Cambridge Nightline is a confidential and anonymous listening service run by students, for students. We have been providing peer-to-peer support to students at the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University for over 50 years. We offer support via telephone and instant messaging (IM), and open at night when other support services are often closed.
Cambridge Nightline has recently appointed a Board of Trustees, and is working towards becoming a registered charity. Our aim as Trustees is to provide oversight and guidance to the student Executive Committee, whilst supporting them as much as possible to continue to lead the direction of the service.

The Treasurer of the Board will work closely with the Student Treasurer to oversee the budget and financial administration, and to ensure the sustainability of the organisation’s funding and reserves.

Become a Helpline & Text Service Volunteer in Bristol
Sift has been supporting people affected by self-harm, trauma, and distress for almost 40 years. Our wonderful team of Listening Service Volunteers provide valuable, non-judgemental support that makes an important impact on the lives of those who contact us.
We’re currently recruiting Bristol-based volunteers for our helpline and text service, to attend shifts at our office and to become part of our friendly, like-minded community.
Our next training block will take place at our Bristol office over four days: 11th & 12th June and 18th & 19th June between 10am and 4pm each day. Please note that attendance on all four dates is required to complete the training.
Visit our website and fill in the short form to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
Why volunteer?
Develop valuable skills and knowledge in active listening, self-harm, trauma, mental health, and other related areas.
Meet supportive, like-minded peers on shift, as well as at our quarterly Volunteer Days where you'll receive additional relevant training.
Access support from our coordinators and volunteer team through supervision and reflective practice.
Develop a gentle, transformative approach to mental health that can be applied elsewhere in life.
Change the lives of an often overlooked and misunderstood community.
What's it like being a volunteer?
When you join our team, you’ll take part in our four-day in-person training course. The training is an opportunity to meet new people and learn the valuable skills you’ll take with you into the work.
Working on the service, you’ll answer calls, texts and/or emails from people impacted by self-harm and offer them confidential, emotional support to understand their own experiences and make decisions that are right for them.
Every quarter, you’ll meet a group of your peers to discuss volunteering and have a safe and confidential space to reflect on the work.
Who can volunteer?
We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and life experiences. You may have your own experiences of self-harm or mental health challenges or be keen to learn more about how to support others through these experiences.
You don’t need previous listening or counselling experience, just an open mind, a commitment to the role, and a willingness to learn.
We're looking for anyone who wants to offer meaningful support, and can listen with empathy and an understanding that everyone’s situation is unique. We're keen to recruit volunteers who are flexible, adaptable, and open to new learning experiences.
What happens now?
After you submit the form, we'll get in touch to arrange a chat if we feel you'd be the right fit for our services. We have limited training spaces available and may only be able to respond if your application is successful. If you don’t hear back from us this time, we recommend following us on LinkedIn or checking our website periodically to look out for training opportunities later in the year.
Practical details:
An Enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check will be required for this role, which will be paid for by Sift.
We ask that volunteers commit to a year on the service after completion of training. If you're looking for a shorter commitment, this may not be the role for you.
You must be available on the training dates mentioned above, and available for one evening shift per week on Mondays and/or Thursdays.
If you have any questions about the role, please contact our team. Please note that only applications through our online form will be considered and we are not accepting CVs via email.
We focus on improving support and knowledge, whilst working to sift out the causes, stigma and misinformation around self-harm.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
