Closing date Tuesday 28 September 2021 at 5:00pm
Interview date Week commencing 4 October 2021
Contract: Contract for delivering services (on a self-employed basis)
Location: Aberdeen – meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month
Our services are usually held in hospitality or community venues in the town or city centre.
Pay: We offer flat fees for work undertaken delivering our services as listed below:
- £130 for facilitating a 2-hour ‘meet up’ session
- £150 for facilitating a quarterly 2.5-hour speaker session
- £15 admin fee per session
- Additional fees for attending training and meetings, or facilitating a larger annual information event.
We do not provide any fee for travel time or costs.
The role
We are currently looking for an experienced facilitator with a counselling qualification to deliver our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer (LWSBC) service in Aberdeen.
Our LWSBC groups offer support and information to anyone living with a diagnosis of secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. The groups offer a safe space where people can come to talk freely and share experiences and mutual support with others who understand, away from friends and family. They are not therapeutic support groups in the traditional sense but are delivered in accordance with Breast Cancer Now’s service model used across the UK which has been developed and tested for over 10 years. Each group meets monthly 11am – 1pm with a slightly longer meeting each quarter (11am – 1.30pm) when an expert speaker presents on a relevant topic.
You will be responsible for facilitating the meetings, drawing upon your therapeutic skills as required to ensure that all attendees are given time to share and supported to take part in discussion, including around challenging topics affecting this patient group such as end of life. You will work independently in your region, with sole responsibility for facilitating each group meeting, liaising with venue staff as required. You will act as an ambassador for Breast Cancer Now, promoting our charitable aims and building professional relationships with healthcare professionals who attend.
This is offered as a contract for services position and as such the appointed contractor would not be an employee of Breast Cancer Now but a self-employed individual. We require all contractors to adhere to and follow Breast Cancer Now applicable policies and procedures and to undertake some mandatory training in core subjects such as data protection and cyber security. A satisfactory criminal record check will be required, and we advise you to have your own Public Liability insurance in place to fully cover the work you undertake on behalf of Breast Cancer Now.
About you
You will have a counselling qualification and experience of facilitating groups, preferably ongoing support groups for people affected by cancer or a life-limiting long-term condition, or other vulnerable/sensitive group. You will have a warm and approachable manner, able to communicate sensitively with people facing difficult challenges. You should be confident using your own initiative and dealing with unforeseen challenges when working alone.
