Social care trainer volunteer roles
Founded in 1879, Together for Mental Wellbeing is the longest-established mental health charity in England. We work to ensure that everyone who experiences mental distress is valued, can live the life they choose and can determine their own future.
What we do
Together for Mental Wellbeing is a national charity that supports people who experience mental distress to lead fulfilling and independent lives.
We work with approximately 4,500 people every month via 70 projects throughout England, but we aspire to reach many more people through our recently refreshed five-year strategy.
Our services include:
- personalised support in the community
- accommodation based support
- advocacy services, including in secure hospitals
- criminal justice services, including in courts and probation services
What makes us stand out is that we put people at the centre of their own support – they set their own goals and are in control of how we work alongside them to achieve these. We value people as experts in what works best for them, and draw on their skills and strengths to build resilience and support networks so they can eventually manage without us
This means we value people as experts in what works best for them, and each individual we work with influences and shapes the support they and others receive from us. It also means we provide opportunities for people experiencing mental distress to work with Together to draw on their experiences to help us improve the quality and experience of the services that we provide.
We are committed to promoting service user leadership wherever possible; this is why we recently launched our Lived Experience Network, a free, members-based community.
Our values
We work together to facilitate choice through involvement, by doing what we say, never giving up on people, and looking to constantly improve how we work.
Our Board
We have an effective and collaborative Board of enthusiastic, friendly and committed trustees, who lead the development of Together and ensure that the charity exemplifies good practice.
The opportunity
We wish to add new trustees to our Board and have identified some recruitment priorities:
- We are seeking at least one individual with lived experience of mental distress who can draw on their unique knowledge and insights as to how mental distress impacts on people’s lives, and share their passion and enthusiasm to drive the aspirations of the organisation.
Our approach is for the individual to determine whether or not they have lived experience of mental distress. One person’s lived experience is no more or less important than another’s.
- We wish to increase the gender diversity of our leadership at Together; we currently have a high proportion of men.
Having completed a recent Board skills audit we also encourage applicants with experience of the following areas:
- Human resources and workforce planning
- Forensic psychiatry
- Public sector procurement/contracting
- Knowledge of health and wellbeing service providers from the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector
- Digital development and innovation
- Auditing and risk management
- Financial management and accounting
However, all applications are welcomed and will be considered. We also recognise that people are often juggling multiple commitments and can offer flexibility as to when you take up the role.
We offer a full induction, along with ongoing training and development opportunities. Although our trustees are unpaid volunteers all expenses related to the role will be paid in full.
Typically trustees will attend around 10 meetings per year, occasional virtual attendance is possible, and be invited to events and visits. With preparation time for meetings this can equate to a commitment of 1-2 days per month.
As a Trustee you will:
- Join a committed and friendly Board
- Help shape our strategic development as a charity
- Influence our innovative projects and initiatives, especially with service users
- Develop new skills and knowledge
- Be supported to attend relevant conferences and other training events
- Help improve the mental health and wellbeing of people and communities

Beacon for Rare Diseases hosts The Resources Hub, a 100% free and accessible e-learning platform created to support the rare disease community, including:
- Patient groups, patients and families
- Researchers and life science professionals
- Rare disease advocates
The Resources Hub brings together over 100 free resources, including written courses, video guides, webinars and recordings from events and conferences. These resources are designed to support people at every stage of their rare disease journey, whether they are just getting started or are part of a well-established organisation.
We are incredibly proud of the breadth and quality of what’s available on the Hub. However, much of our long-standing content is under-promoted, meaning that people don’t always find the right resource at the right time.
“The Resources Hub provides invaluable resources to help patient group leaders navigate challenges such as caring responsibilities, health issues, and employment.”
“It breaks down topics relevant to the rare community in a way that's easy to digest and empowering to take action!”
--
About the role
We are looking for a social media volunteer to help us shine a light on the wealth of content already available within the Resources Hub.
In this role, you will:
- Spend time exploring our existing Resources Hub content
- Write 1–3 social media posts per resource, tailored for different platforms
- Help us build a reusable library of social media posts that we can draw on to promote resources when they are most relevant
This role is about helping people discover support that already exists, making it easier for patient groups and advocates to find information that could make a real difference to their work.
--
Who this role would suit
This is a specific, project-based placement and would suit someone who already has experience in communications, social media or content creation.
You’ll be someone who:
- Enjoys writing clear, engaging social media copy
- Understands how to adapt messaging across different platforms
- Is comfortable working independently and managing their own time
- Can take guidance on tone and branding and run with it
While we don’t have capacity to provide training, you won’t be left on your own. We will:
- Provide clear direction on priorities and approach
- Share brand guidance and examples
- Review initial work to make sure everything feels aligned
- Have routine check-ins, provide feedback, and an end-of-placement review
--
Time commitment and flexibility
This is a fully remote volunteering role, which we ideally hope can be completed within around three months. We anticipate a minimum commitment of approximately two hours per week, though a shorter, more intensive placement could also be arranged to suit the volunteer. We are open to having more than one volunteer on this project and do not expect a single person to work through the entire Hub.
Please note: we are looking for this placement to begin as soon as possible.
--
Why volunteer with Beacon?
By volunteering with Beacon, you will:
- Help improve access to free, high-quality resources for the rare disease community
- Support patient groups, patients and advocates to build confidence and capacity
- Gain experience working with a well-established national charity
- Take on a clearly defined project with flexible working
Beacon for rare diseases: ensuring that no one faces their rare journey alone
