We offer seven sessions to cancer patients, carers and the bereaved. Applicants must have at least 60 hour of face to face counselling experience. An enhanced DBS check is required, together with professional liability insurance and BACP or equivalent membership. This is a popular role but vacancies do crop up throughout the year.

Counselling
Must be in or have completed a BACP or equivalent UK accredited course. 60 hours of 1 to 1 counselling hours are required and support of the training organisation to start client work. Personal liability cover and membership of a professional body for counselling and psychotherapy is required. Due to the nature of our work we require candidates not to have had personal experience of cancer either themselves or a close family member within the preceding two years or been bereaved within the preceding two years.
Counsellors are encouraged to be in personal counselling/therapy and to commit to ongoing professional development within a related area of work. Volunteer counsellors in training will be required to attend group supervision. Counsellors will have reviews with the Counselling Lead initially 3 months after joining and compassionately monitors and supports their work. These are of an informal and confidential nature.
