What Our Employees Say
"I have been a team member at Help for five years and I can honestly say I have never worked in such a supportive professional environment.
Not only does it feel as though each team member genuinely cares for one another, but there is a real sense of togetherness and a shared commitment to making sure Help provides the best possible service for both the individuals accessing the service as well as the trainee counsellors on placement with us.
Knowing that Help is making a difference to peoples' mental health and lives in general is certainly rewarding, but it's the individual team members and therefore the company as whole that makes working and staying at Help so worthwhile."
Emily, Placement Coordinator
