Helpline volunteer

Do you have a few hours a month that you could use to help others?

We're looking for volunteers to help run our Helpline. We're especially interested in hearing from people who would be able to volunteer on the helpline during the day. We're looking for warm and supportive people who had either a personal or professional experience cell changes (abnormal cells) or cervical cancer.  

What do our Helpline volunteers do?

Helpline volunteers offer reliable information, friendly support and useful signposting to those affected by cervical cancer and cell changes (abnormalities), and those with questions about cervical screening, and HPV.

Being a helpliner allows you to make a real difference to those in need of information and support. The interpersonal skills you will develop will also be valuable to you in all areas of your life, and we will also continue to develop you throughout the year.

Going through cervical cancer or cell changes (abnormalities) can be very isolating and sometimes it's just good to hear a friendly voice. Could you be that voice?

If you you're interested in becoming a helpliner please read the role description >
