Helpline heroes

Dyslexia Scotland’s Helpline operates 5 days a week. Our dedicated volunteers answer thousands of enquiries every year, offering support and guidance to everyone who gets in touch with a question about dyslexia.

One volunteer told us:

“About 10 years ago I found out that my son was severely dyslexic. Rather than this identification helping things it was causing problems with school. Dyslexia Scotland’s Helpline was a huge help to our family in giving advice and reassurance as well as introducing us to a tutor that worked with my son for 7 years. I saw this as my chance to give back and use my experience to help others in a similar situation.”

Another said:

“Being a helpline advisor is both challenging and rewarding. I know that sharing some of my stories of living with dyslexia makes people feel like they are not alone. I would encourage anyone who needs advice on dyslexia to phone the helpline. “

You can apply for this rewarding role that makes a geniune difference to thousands of callers.
