Becoming a Childline Listener means being there when a child or young person needs you the most. Just a few hours out of your month can help many children and young people. Sometimes all they need is someone like you with time to listen.
You will gain valuable skills and experience, make a difference to others and be part of a well-supported team.
If this sounds like something you are interested in, please email us at info@childline.gi for more information.
