Job description

PLEASE NOTE: This is a rolling recruitment campaign and therefore any applications after the 12th of October 2026 will be put through to the next recruitment campaign in January 2027.

As an MS Help Hub Volunteer, you'll be there for people affected by MS when they need someone to listen.

You'll provide emotional support and reliable information, helping people feel heard, understood and more confident about their next steps. Sometimes you'll answer practical questions; other times, simply offering a listening ear can make all the difference.

You'll support people primarily over the telephone, although we also respond to enquiries by letter, email and webchat. Every conversation is different, and every conversation matters.

You don't need to have all the answers. We'll provide comprehensive training and ongoing support to help you build your knowledge of MS, available support, and the wider challenges people may face. You'll always be part of an experienced team of staff, volunteers and specialists who are there whenever you need them.

Most importantly, you'll be helping ensure that nobody has to face MS alone.

Is this role right for you?

You'll need to be available to volunteer during our weekday opening hours and commit to a regular volunteering pattern of around three hours each week. These hours can be completed flexibly across the week and don't all need to be in one session. The MS Help Hub is open Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. We’re keen to hear what availability you can offer and will discuss this with you as part of the recruitment process.

As the role is home-based, you can volunteer from anywhere in the UK with a suitable internet connection and a quiet, private space to take calls.
