Job description

Psychotherapist / Counsellor

At Prospect Hospice, we know that facing a life-limiting illness can bring profound emotional and psychological challenges for patients, families and those who care for them.

We are looking for a compassionate and experienced Psychotherapist or Counsellor to provide specialist psychological support to people navigating the complex emotional realities of serious illness, loss and end of life.

This is a meaningful opportunity to help people explore fear, grief, identity and resilience, while supporting clinical teams to deliver truly holistic hospice care.

Hours: 8 hours per week (with flexibility to meet service needs)

The role

Working as part of our Family Support Team and wider multidisciplinary team, you will provide specialist psychotherapeutic assessment and intervention for patients and families experiencing complex emotional and psychological distress.

Your work will help ensure that psychological and spiritual care remains fully integrated within our hospice services.

In this role you will:

  • Provide specialist 1:1 psychotherapy and counselling for patients and families with complex psychological needs
  • Support people experiencing distress related to diagnosis, illness progression, trauma, grief and loss
  • Contribute psychological expertise within multidisciplinary team discussions and care planning
  • Provide consultation, supervision and training to staff and volunteers
  • Lead reflective practice and staff support where appropriate
  • Contribute to the development and evaluation of psycho-spiritual services across the hospice

Through your expertise and compassion, you will help patients and families find ways to cope, adapt and maintain dignity during some of life’s most difficult moments.

About you

You will be an experienced psychotherapist or counsellor who brings both professional expertise and emotional insight to your work.

You will have:

  • A recognised counselling or psychotherapy qualification and registration or accreditation with a recognised UK professional body
  • Experience delivering 1:1 psychotherapy in complex or emotionally demanding settings
  • Strong skills in assessment, formulation and therapeutic intervention
  • Experience supporting people facing serious illness, trauma, grief or bereavement
  • The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team

Experience in palliative care or healthcare settings would be an advantage.

Informal visits or calls are very welcome, please contact Jaqui Gullis, Clinical Lead or Simon Brooks - Consultant.

The Family Support team say

  • "We’re a small, supportive team where everyone’s voice matters.  We work with autonomy and are dedicated to creative, person centred care.”
  • “The work is challenging and it can be emotive, but it is deeply rewarding and the team work is strong”.
  • "The leadership is strong and leaders are accessible, engaging and empowering. Clinical supervision and reflective practice is actively enabled”.
  • "We have a strong learning culture and work closely with an experienced multi-disciplinary team. Together, we create meaningful and positive change for the people we support.”

Interviews will commence Monday 20th April.

We offer a great range of benefits, including:

  • 27 days annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays (rising with length of service)
  • Membership of the NHS pension scheme is available for existing members
  • Generous contributory pension scheme for all other staff
  • Discounts with local retailers, gyms and service providers including Blue Light Discount Card
  • Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing team
  • Supportive induction, training and development
  • A values led, inclusive working environment
