Become a Support Networker

Living with a thyroid condition can sometimes feel isolating. Speaking to someone who understands can make a real difference.

Thyroid UK’s Support Network brings people together through local support groups, telephone support and email support. Some local groups are run by Thyroid UK volunteers, while others are independent groups listed within our network.

By becoming a Support Networker, you can use your experience and understanding to help other people affected by thyroid conditions feel heard, supported and less alone.

Local Support Groups

Help create welcoming spaces where people can share experiences and feel understood.

Telephone Support

Offer support and a listening ear to people who need someone to talk to.

Email Support

Provide thoughtful email support to help people feel heard and supported.

What does the role involve?

As a Support Networker, you will be part of a national team. You will use your experience and understanding to offer practical and emotional support in a way that feels right for you. 

 

How we will support you

You won’t be on your own. We are here to support you with promotional materials, useful resources and  guidance.

 

Could you be a Support Networker?

We welcome applications from anyone who wants to use their experience to help others affected by thyroid conditions. Support Networkers offer listening and peer support. They do not diagnose thyroid conditions, recommend treatments or replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
