THE BBC is looking to recruit hundreds of "wellbeing volunteers" in a bid to tackle staff mental health problems.
The move comes after a number of scandals that have rocked the corporation.
Following an internal wellbeing review, BBC staff who "are passionate about mental health, have excellent listening skills and want to help make a positive impact" are being asked to apply for 300 roles.
The BBC's Mental Health Provision's "focus will be on reducing stress and trauma risk, will support everyone to manage their energy effectively, and will give access to confidential support without stigma".
