Every year, we support around 125,000 people through over 250 services - and it's all made possible by our 3,500 brilliant staff and volunteers.
Make a real difference in your community
Are you passionate about helping others live safer, healthier, more independent lives? Join our team at Waythrough and support people facing challenges around mental health, substance use, housing, or domestic abuse. This is more than just a job – it’s a chance to build meaningful relationships and create lasting change.
We’re looking for a creative and motivated volunteer to support us in raising awareness of the service and reaching more people who could benefit from talking therapies and employment support. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys shaping messages, creating engaging content, and thinking about how we share what we do in a clear and accessible way.
What you’ll be doing
- Creating simple, engaging marketing materials (e.g. posters, leaflets, digital content) using tools like Canva
- Supporting the promotion of the service, including groups, workshops, and support offers
- Working with staff to gather key messages, updates, and ideas, helping to turn these into clear, accessible content
- Helping us think about how we present the service to different audiences (e.g. potential referrals, partners, community groups)
- Supporting with planning and contributing to awareness campaigns (e.g. Mental Health Awareness Week)
- Reviewing and helping improve existing materials to make sure they are clear, consistent, and easy to understand
