Join Kernos as an Admin Volunteer and help us support people on their journey to better mental health. 

About Us

Kernos is a mental health counselling charity based in Sudbury, dedicated to providing accessible, low-cost counselling to our local community. Our services are in high demand, and we’re looking for a committed volunteer to help us manage our referrals and waiting list — a vital role that ensures people get the help they need as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Your Role Will Include: 

  • Managing incoming referrals from clients and external agencies via phone and email. 
  • Maintaining and updating our waiting list system. 
  • Liaising with clients to confirm appointments or gather further information. 
  • Coordinating with our team of counsellors. 
  • Ensuring client data is handled sensitively and confidentially. 

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong organisational and communication skills. 
  • Basic IT proficiency (email, spreadsheets, online calendars). 
  • A caring, professional attitude and respect for confidentiality. 
  • Commitment of 4–6 hours per week (flexible Mon – Fri).  
  • Previous admin or mental health experience is a bonus but not required. 

What You’ll Gain

This is a fantastic chance to support mental health in your community, gain experience in the charity sector, and be part of a warm, supportive team.
