Childline Scotland (Aberdeen Base)

At Childline, our free counselling service for children, a child contacts us every 25 seconds. And thanks to our dedicated volunteers, who do a shift each week, we can offer support when it’s needed most.

To make sure it stays that way, we’re looking for more brilliant people who want to make a difference. After you get trained and set up in your local base, you’ll be helping children and young people who need someone to talk to. Listening to them at first and then offering support, information, or practical advice.

Children don’t always know who to trust with their worries. Without a safe place to turn, they can put their trust in the wrong person or keep their fears to themselves. Home isn’t a safe place for every child, and the pandemic made even more children feel trapped, lonely, and unsure who to trust. Our Childline service is a confidential place for children to contact – over the phone or online – whatever their worry.

As a Childline volunteer you’ll get the opportunity to:

• learn valuable new skills;
• be part of a friendly team of like-minded people;
• be there for children across the country.
