Stop it Now! Helpline Volunteers - Epsom

The Stop it Now! Helpline works to prevent child sexual abuse through offering confidential advice to adults concerned about child sexual abuse. Target groups include those worried about their own sexual behaviour towards children and those worried about the behaviour of another adult or child. We are looking for Helpline volunteers to take these calls and advise individuals on the best ways to protect children from harm.

Based in Epsom, and working as part of a team, the successful applicants will engage with callers, assess their needs and respond with practical advice.
An empathic manner, common sense and the ability to gather and respond to information with sensitivity are essential. Knowledge of multi-agency child protection or helpline work would be an advantage.

Additional Information
• Flexible hours (shifts of 4 hours)
• Helpline hours Monday to Thursday 9am - 9pm, Friday 9am - 7pm
• Applicants to be available for one daytime and one evening shift per week (minimum of two shifts)
