Volunteering at Share

At Share we rely on our volunteers to keep us running, and in return we offer a relaxed, calm environment where you will meet a variety of people and be part of something really important. We appreciate that your time is precious and we will work with you to make sure that you have a fulfilling role, with great training and learning opportunities guaranteed.

Here are some current ways to get involved at Share.

Centre Volunteers

We are currently recruiting for a friendly, enthusiastic individuals to get stuck in with the day-to-day admin and reception duties at our busy therapy centre. Click to download the role description and application form. Return your application to office@sharepsychotherapy.org.

Therapist roles

We are always keen to hear from qualified therapists. As Share is a voluntary organisation, we would not be able to offer low-cost therapy without the generosity of our therapists.  

Volunteering with Share will give you the opportunity to work with clients who cannot otherwise access psychotherapy, over a long period of time. Beyond direct one-one therapy, there are opportunities to develop skills in assessment, long-term therapy and participate in research projects. 

Qualified Therapists

Are you a fully qualified (BACP/HCPC/UKCP) counsellor, creative therapist or psychotherapist able to spare three or four hours per week? Would you like to join a small but vital mental health charity in Sheffield, facilitating weekly, long-term psychotherapy for those most in need?

We ask our qualified therapists to commit to 4 hours a week, for a minimum of a year. 

In return we offer: 

  • Fortnightly supervision groups. (a max of 4 therapists in each group). 

  • Ad hoc support from our clinical team. 

  • Free access to regular CPD events with both in-house trainers and external facilitators. 

  • Use of Share’s extensive physical library. 

If interested please contact our Clinical Lead, jon.martyn@sharepsychotherapy.org, for an informal chat.
