The helpline is open 9am - 9pm Monday-Thursday and 9am - 5pm Friday.  Advisors typically work 4 hour shifts and we are looking for people who can commit to between 2 and 6 shifts per week.

As part of the role you will answer calls to the Stop It Now! UK & Ireland Helpline in accordance with training received and maintain records of calls in line with policy and practice guidelines.  You will also respond to emails sent via our secure messaging service and answer/respond to 'chats' via our line online Stop It Now!
