We urgently need to train more supporters in the local area to meet the increasing demand on this vital service. Will you help us to offer support - and give hope - to families who are struggling with the death of someone close? Did you know that you don't need to be a counsellor to apply for this training? The course is open to those who have experience of working with children and young people, and/or interest in furthering skills in working with bereaved children and young people. The overall aim of this course is to provide trainees with a supportive context in which they can develop those theoretical, conceptual, and practical skills and insights, which will enable them to become highly competent supporters of bereaved children and young people and their families/carers.

Like so many support organisations, we are seeing an increasing demand of our services, and we are looking for qualified counsellors to join our local therapeutic team. This is a unique opportunity to provide specialist intervention to support people to gain an insight and understanding into their grief. We work within a time limited model of support and ask that all volunteers work with a minimum of two clients at any given time We are looking for experienced counsellors who are supportive, non-judgemental, proactive, motivated, and open to change and demonstrate an understanding of the importance and scope of confidentiality. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are also essential. You must be a registered member of COSCA or the BACP and hold a recognised Diploma in Counselling. We provide individual clinical supervision, with optional group supervision, frequent and varied CPD opportunities and management and administrative support from our local teams. We are currently delivering our services by telephone, online and face to face.
