Volunteering with Exeter Nightline
We usually recruit volunteers in September and January of each academic year.
We look to recruit enthusiastic and conscientious students to give up a couple of nights a term to man the phones (you don’t have to stay awake all night, don’t worry!) or to assist the society in other ways.
Exeter Student Nightline is a fantastic society to be involved with and a great way to give back to the student community, whether you’re an undergraduate or postgraduate and the hours spent volunteering with us count towards the Exeter Award Scheme.

APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED - next recruitment window September 2022.
Whilst we welcome applications from all members of the university's student body, we particularly welcome applications from currently under-represented groups in Exeter Nightline. This includes postgraduate, international, and male students, as well as Black, Asian and minority ethnic students and students from the LGBTQ+ community. Please note that we are unable to take final year students in this intake, due to time restraints on the training process before these students graduate.
