Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
We have an exciting opportunity to welcome two Volunteer Counsellors to join our Family Services Team.
We are looking for individuals with experience in bereavement, life-limiting illness, healthcare, or ideally a background in palliative care.
The role involves supporting clients aged 16 and over, individuals and (where appropriately qualified) couples.
Counsellors will manage a caseload of 4–6 clients, offering weekly sessions over one day per week.
You will be responsible for managing your own caseload, typically providing up to 12 weekly sessions per client, with the option to extend short-term support where needed.
All sessions will take place at the hospice.
In return, we offer a supportive and welcoming environment, with access to regular internal group supervision sessions, held fortnightly or monthly depending on preference.
Applicants should hold a minimum Level 4 counselling qualification (Level 5 preferred) and be registered with the BACP or a similar professional and ethical body.
St Wilfrid’s Hospice is much more than a building. We provide tailored end of life care both in the community and at our Hospice, supporting our patients living with a terminal illness, and their family and friends.
All our vital services are provided free of charge, thanks to the generous support of fundraisers and donors.
St Wilfrid’s employs around 250 people across its clinical, retail, fundraising, and other support service teams. More than 560 people give their time to St Wilfrid’s as volunteers, including on the in-patient unit, in shops, at events, in the café, in the community, and as trustees and committee advisers.
