Volunteer Officer Volunteer Roles in Manchester

From JISJ to Access Academia

When the Journal of Intersectional Social Justice (JISJ) was created by Avery Benton, there were not any expectations for the project to be any more than that: a student-led academic publication. However, as the year rolled on, attention for the project widened and the project began to cover other topics and get involved in other realms of knowledge sharing, activism, and content creation. The creation of the seminal series, the Access Series, featured on the blog publication Intersections, springboarded the idea for the JISJ to turn into something much more than a simple academic publication. Now with charity registration looming ahead, the JISJ has undertaken a rebranding in anticipation of our official registration as a charity incorporated organisation (CIO) in the UK (application pending).

Access Academia

Access Academia is a student-led charitable initiative founded in 2021. We promote student research and community dialogue on issues of intersectional social justice, such as race, gender, and sexuality. Our team consists of 30+ students and researchers based in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and the US. We are in the process of being registered as a charity in the UK. We publish the multidisciplinary Journal for Intersectional Social Justice and Intersections blog, both of which showcase student research on social justice topics, including climate change, gender equality, queer rights, anti-racism, decolonization practices, and the visibility of marginalised communities and more! Access Academia also runs the online publication, Intersections, housed on Medium.

We value diversity, inclusivity, and the active participation of individuals from all backgrounds. We are committed to providing equal opportunities and creating an inclusive work environment. Join our team and contribute to our mission of promoting intersectional social justice.

All applicants applying thus acknowledge that this is an unpaid, but much appreciated, labour role and agree to volunteer their time as advertised on the role requirements.

Brain tumours do not discriminate and they do not respect boundaries. They can strike anyone, at any age. And they strike quickly.

At The Brain Tumour Charity, we aim to address the clear gap in emotional support available to those affected by a brain tumour diagnosis, by expanding our counselling service. We know the difference that talking therapy can make to the brain tumour community and our goal is to reach more people, ensuring everyone that wants it, gets the support that they need.

How can you help?
We are in a position to offer a number of unpaid student placements, to those training to be integrative or person centred counsellors, which will see you work via telephone/webcam only, with a wide range of clients; from those newly diagnosed, to those at end of life, carers and bereaved loved ones.

This is a home-based role, and you can help by volunteering your time to see a minimum of 3 clients per week, between the hours of 9am—5pm, Monday—Friday.

We’re looking for students who:

• Are in their 2nd year of studying for the Level 4 Counselling Diploma (or equivalent)
• Have been signed off as ’fit to practice’ by their tutor and have already accrued at least 30+ client hours.
• Are student members of the BACP (or equivalent) and work in line with their ethical framework.
• Are committed to accessing clinical supervision on a monthlybasis, as per the guidance from your ethical body.
•  Have their own public liability insurance (or are willing to obtain this.)
• Will be committed to following our safeguarding processes and will only work within their limits of proficiency.
• Will observe confidentiality in line with their ethical framework and The Charity’s organisational policy.
• Have the capacity to work autonomously and IT abilities to be able to maintain appropriate and accurate records on our counselling database.
• As this is a home-based role, you will need access to a telephone and computer that you are happy to use for this service.

We particularly encourage applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in our sector, including individuals from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.

What can you gain from volunteering with us?

• You’ll have the opportunity to work towards the clinical hours required for your course
• You will receive training, ongoing support and management supervision from the Counselling Service Manager,
• You will receive either a financial contribution towards the cost of monthly clinical supervision, or group supervision arranged by the Charity and delivered by a qualified supervisor.
• We will complete any necessary paperwork and reports needed for your placement records.
• All diary management will be carried out by our Counselling Team, reducing the amount of admin required by you.

Time commitment
We ask each student to commit to a placement of at least 6 months and to see a minimum of 3 clients per week at a time to suit you, but it MUST be at the same time each week.

Practical considerations
We intend to do 3-4 recruitment rounds each year. Shortlisted applicants will be asked to attend an initial interview, followed by an online training session and follow up interview, if successful.
Successful candidates will then receive a full induction to The Brain Tumour Charity and any specific training for the role, as well as ongoing support from one of the team, who will be your key contact.
We will carry out reference and DBS checks for all successful applicants and you will be required to complete some internal data protection and disclo-sure documentation before commencing the placement.

LeanOnMe

Mental Health for youth empowered by AI.

LeanOnMe addresses pressing social and environmental challenges by tackling the growing mental health crisis among Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs), particularly those aged 16-25. In today’s increasingly complex world, AYAs face numerous mental health challenges that impact their well-being, education, and social integration. Some of the critical issues we address include:

Mental Health Crisis in AYAs: The mental health of young people is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Globally, 1 in 5 adolescents suffers from a mental health condition, with conditions like anxiety and depression on the rise. The impact of this crisis is profound—by 2030, mental health costs are expected to reach $6 trillion, with a significant portion of this burden falling on young people. The increasing prevalence of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression, creates a significant social challenge, as many AYAs are left without adequate resources or support​​. Key Drivers of Mental Health Deterioration: Digital media consumption, academic and social pressure, economic uncertainty, and social isolation are some of the key factors contributing to this crisis. AYAs are particularly vulnerable to the pressures created by social media, the increasing competitiveness of the academic environment, and societal issues like climate change, trust deficits, and inequality. As a result, AYAs often experience heightened anxiety, depression, and stress​​. Barriers to Mental Health Support: Despite the growing need, the current mental health support system is inadequate to meet the demands of AYAs. Many young people face barriers such as: Lack of availability of professional support High costs of therapy Inaccessibility of real-time mental health assistance Stigma associated with seeking help These barriers leave many AYAs dealing with their mental health issues in isolation, leading to long-term negative impacts on their education, career prospects, and quality of life​​. Environmental and Societal Challenges: Beyond individual mental health concerns, broader societal issues, such as climate change, economic instability, and distrust in institutions, exacerbate the mental health challenges faced by AYAs. These factors create a sense of uncertainty and hopelessness among young people, further driving the need for accessible, reliable mental health support​​.

The Need for Instant, Affordable, and Real-Time Support: AYAs require an immediate response to their mental health needs, but professional help is often unavailable, unaffordable, or inaccessible. LeanOnMe fills this gap by offering a 24/7 AI-enabled mental health solution, delivering instant, customized support through a familiar platform like WhatsApp. This not only ensures accessibility but also reduces the stigma associated with seeking mental health support. LeanOnMe’s AI bot provides real-time conversations, offering emotional support, stress management techniques, and career advice specifically tailored to the challenges faced by AYAs, particularly during stressful times like exams​​. In summary, LeanOnMe’s solution addresses the urgent social and environmental challenges of the growing mental health pandemic among AYAs by providing accessible, affordable, and stigma-free support. This bridges the gap between the challenges they face and professional help, helping young people manage stress and build resilience through real-time AI-enabled support.

LeanOnMe offers a 24/7 AI-driven mental health support platform, tailored specifically for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) aged 16-25. Our solution directly addresses the gaps in mental health care by providing instant, affordable, and accessible mental health support through a conversational AI bot on platforms like WhatsApp, where AYAs are most comfortable.
