Charity Ambassadors play a key role in helping the charity meet its strategic objectives to increase awareness of our work and optimise income generation and expenditure.
Our ambassadors champion the charity’s work within their local pharmacy communities by hosting information stands and delivering talks in their places of work/study, local networks and organisations. This role is vital to the work of Pharmacist Support and will help ensure that those eligible for support are aware of our existence and that they understand how to access our services. Another key part of the role will be to help raise valuable funds through events and the recruitment of fundraisers and donors so that the charity’s free and confidential support may continue long into the future.
All Charity Ambassadors will be given full training and be supported to carry out the role and will recieve regular updates on the latest activities.
Pharmacist Support will ensure that volunteers are not out of pocket and are not deterred from volunteering because of any costs involved.
Flexible – evenings and weekends, potentially once or twice a month or when required
We are not currently recruiting Ambassadors. Any future vacancies will be advertised on our website, in our e-newsletter and in the pharmacy press.

Listening Friends is a free and confidential helpline staffed by trained volunteer pharmacists who provide a listening ear to fellow pharmacists and pharmacy students struggling with stress, or simply in need of a sympathetic, non-judgemental person to talk to.
As an independent Charity we rely on the generosity of pharmacists and pharmacy organisations to be able to continue our work – be that as donors or fundraisers, volunteers or supporters.
We strive to provide a consistently high quality service that delivers the most benefit to our users and regularly monitor both the effectiveness and the quality of the support given. To do this we rely on our service users to give their opinions.
