About the Trust


The Charlie Waller Trust was set up by the Waller family in 1997 in response to the loss of their son and brother Charlie who tragically took his own life whilst suffering from depression.

We have since become one of the UK's most respected mental health charities.


Our overarching mission is to educate young people and those with responsibility for them - parents and carers, teachers, college and university staff and employers - about their mental health and wellbeing.

We recognise the importance of diversity and equality in mental health conversations, ensuring that our educational resources and outreach efforts are inclusive and accessible to individuals from all backgrounds.


The Charlie Waller Trust is a great place to work, with around 25 employees and over 40 freelance mental health trainers, speakers and experts.


About our team
This role sits within our growing Comms Team, reporting to the Head of Communications.

We are a hardworking and friendly team, all highly skilled and experienced in our fields and passionate about helping support and educate people in looking after their mental health.


We have ambitious plans for 2024 and it's an exciting time to join and be a part of the charity's future growth.

The Charlie Waller Trust is a great place to work. We care about mental health and wellbeing in our team and have a positive, enabling workplace culture.


Our values drive our work:

Warm:

Positive personal connections are central to mental health; we aim to reflect that in all our relationships with beneficiaries, supporters, staff and volunteers.


Empowering:

We support all those we work with, and who work for us, to use their minds, hearts, energy and creativity to fulfil their potential.


Collaborative:

Partnership and cooperation are at the core of our work; we seek the views of those we wish to support and aim to put them at the centre of our activity.


Compassionate:

We recognise vulnerability in ourselves and others, especially where there is more than one reason people may be vulnerable to mental health problems, discrimination or inequality.


Open:

We believe in being honest about the way we work, our aspirations and where we need to improve; openness and good communication are key to good mental health.
