ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you a good listener with a passion for climate justice and supporting people's mental health? We're looking for a compassionate and reliable volunteer to provide one-to-one organisational support for XR members who are neurodiverse and/or are living with mental health challenges.
Many of our members are deeply committed activists, but find it difficult to organise and prioritise their workload — whether that's managing tasks for XR campaigns or simply keeping on top of day-to-day responsibilities. You'll meet with them online for 1–2 hours per week to help them break down tasks, identify priorities, and feel more in control.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Meet regularly (online) with one or more XR members who need support
- Help them identify, unpick, and prioritise tasks in a non-judgmental way
- Offer a consistent, reliable, and structured space each week
- Adapt your approach to suit each individual's needs
- Maintain appropriate boundaries and signpost to professional support where needed
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You don't need formal qualifications, but you should have:- A reliable, consistent, and patient approach
- An understanding of neurodiversity and/or mental health challenges
- An awareness of how the climate and nature crises affect the emotional wellbeing of activists (eco-anxiety, grief, burnout)
- Familiarity with basic task management or organisational strategies
- Respect for confidentiality and personal boundaries
- A commitment to XR's values and mission
WHY VOLUNTEER WITH US?
We warmly welcome applications from people with lived experience of neurodiversity or mental health challenges.
