Job description

We are looking for someone to provide trauma informed therapeutic support to unpaid dementia carers through one to one counselling and virtual group sessions.

You will deliver safe, effective and person-centred emotional support to help carers manage the psychological and emotional challenges associated with caring for someone with dementia via six-session model.

Working within DCC's clinical governance framework, you will be supported through line management by the Counselling Manager and external clinical supervision.

Key responsibilities include:

Deliver safe, effective, person – centred emotional support to help carers manage psychological challenges.
Work within our clinical governance framework under Counselling Manager leadership, with external clinical supervision.
Contribute to continuous improvement, service development, and organisational priorities to meet evolving carer needs.

Every year in the UK thousands of unpaid carers look after someone with dementia but receive little or no support. At Dementia Carers Count, we stand for them. We campaign for change and provide practical, emotional and financial support to dementia carers across the UK.

We’re looking for someone with a breadth of experience, who has a willingness to support others and learn new skills. The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with attendance at occasional in - person team meetings in London.

We are a small and remote multi-disciplinary team, committed to making a difference for carers and supporting each other.

If you like the sound of the role, and believe you have the skills and experience to join us, then we would love to hear from you.
