Come join our team!
There are a lot of great ways to get involved with Tinnitus UK as a volunteer. Volunteers bring time, enthusiasm, and commitment to help improve the lives of people with tinnitus. In return, volunteering with us is an excellent way to have fun, learn new skills, meet new people, boost your CV, or give something back.
We have various roles available but can also tailor volunteer roles to suit your skills and interests, so even if the listed opportunities aren't quite what you're looking for we would love to hear from you!

Current Volunteer Opportunities
Helpline
Our national helpline receives over 5,000 calls and 1,000 emails every year from people seeking advice and reassurance about their tinnitus. If you like to help others, are happy to chat on the phone, and have a willingness to learn then this role is for you.
As a helpline volunteer, you will advise callers on how to cope with the effects of tinnitus on their lives and the best ways of accessing support and help quickly. We provide specific helpline training along with ongoing coaching and support to make sure you are ready and able to answer the phone. There may also be the opportunity for you to attend our specialised tinnitus adviser training course and our annual conference.
Local Support Group
To provide leadership, compassion, and peer support to individuals affected by tinnitus through regular group meetings. The Support Group Leader helps foster a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where members can share experiences, learn coping strategies, and reduce the sense of isolation that often accompanies tinnitus.
Events and Outreach
We love it when volunteers can help out at local events or spread the word through outreach. This could include flyering the local community, attending conferences/events on our behalf, speaking to local groups, etc.
Mission Statement
Our vision
We want "A world without tinnitus."
That is a powerful statement and one we believe is achievable. It is achievable now, to an extent that there are management tools and methods available to enable some not to 'suffer'. However, we also want to find better ways to manage tinnitus – and ultimately a cure.
