Are you a qualified counsellor and would like to offer a few hours a week to support local families dealing with bereavement and loss?

Our Bereavement, listening and talking therapies team work with patients and family members to offer the opportunity to explore and express complex thoughts and emotions around the experience of dealing with life-limiting illness and loss.

We are looking for volunteers who can provide Level 3 counselling support (NICE) guidance to patients, carers, family members and close friends, from diagnosis, during treatment and following bereavement. This may involve one to one support in the client’s home in nursing/care homes, or over the telephone or via a virtual platform.
