If you enjoy chatting with people, and if being on the phone is second nature to you, we need your help!

You would be invaluable to the organisation as the role goes a long way in making sure that the volunteers we take onboard are of good standing and also the exit interviews are an important way of receiving feedback about a volunteer's experience with us. If you are interested as well, you could also become part of our outbound contact centre that does calls to different organisations on our behalf whether they would want information about the Trust and our services.

- All phone calls are made using an internet app (VOIP) from your home computer or mobile phone.
