At Rethink Mental Illness, we know that meaningful connections can transform lives.

A proactive, solution-focused approach and strong organisational abilities. An understanding of risk management, safeguarding and person-centred support. Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and database systems. Flexibility to travel across the service area, with access to your own vehicle.

Together, we're working to create a better quality of life for everyone severely affected by mental illness. Ready to Apply? If you're motivated by helping people feel connected, valued and supported, and you're excited by the opportunity to lead a volunteer-led service that changes lives, we'd love to receive your application.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
