Volunteering
As a SLaM employee, your work is helping improve mental health in the UK. Share your passion, experience, and ideas in another part of the world, and you'll gain new perspectives, skills and confidence to benefit your work here. The personal and professional development of a VSO placement is valued within the Trust, and opportunities can fit within SLaM's existing career break policy. For SLaM employees overseas for longer than 7 months, you can volunteer with pensions paid - so there's never been a better time.

'It’s very important to have VSO volunteers because they have different ways of thinking and together with them we are able to plan new kinds of initiatives.'
