Volunteer With Us
PsyCare UK attracts a diverse group of volunteers.
Our team includes substance misuse workers, doctors, students, neuroscientists, nurses, and experienced festival goers. What unites all our volunteers, however, is a caring and compassionate approach to the needs of all the attendees of a festival. All our highly knowledgeable and empathetic volunteers work on a person-led approach to anyone requiring support.
We are a community that believes in looking out and caring for others, and this considerate approach is reflected in the high quality of welfare and harm reduction services we offer.
If you are interested in volunteering with us, then please consider submitting an application form.
Although skills such as first aid, medical training, and counselling qualifications are appreciated, please be aware that not possessing these isn’t a barrier to application.
Many of our best volunteers have no formal qualifications related to welfare.
The main skills we look for in all potential applicants are the ability to care for other people in a non-judgemental and compassionate way, and an understanding of the nature of the psychedelic experience.
Why Volunteer With PsyCare?
Receive training in psychedelic support, welfare, and harm reduction.
Use your empathy, compassion and love to help others.
Gain valuable and unique experience and become part of the wider psychedelic community/movement.
Help to promote a harm reduction approach to drug use, and promote sensible drug policies that respect human rights.
An opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded people, (which is likely to be useful for those wishing to pursue a career in psychedelic therapy.)
If selected you will receive a crew all access ticket for for all events you’ll be volunteering at.
If you are interested in volunteering in a welfare/caring role please complete the form and follow the details in the confirmation email that you will receive upon submission.
