Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
This role is working therapeutically alongside a child/young person on one of our bereavement support days on either a Saturday or Sunday in a group setting. Ideally you will have experience in working with children and have the ability to communicate effectively at all levels and be able to support children and young people in distress and remain calm.
You will be working therapeutically with your allocated child after receiving training. You will have a group leader who will guide you through the structure of each day. There is also a Clinical Lead who will oversee and facilitate the programme.
You will also be expected to attend a debrief at the end of each day and also complete detailed documentation on the child/ young person you have been working with.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided. We pay 40pence per mile to cover your travel expenses. We will provide training (Safeguarding Children, Volunteer Induction Day and other specialist training days).
You will also have the opportunity to observe a weekend programme in action before you work with a child / young person. We will pay for your DBS check and provide you with a uniform.
You can apply to volunteer for Holding On Letting Go through CharityJob. We will reply to you with a Volunteer Application Form to be completed and returned. We will invite you to either come into our office for a chat or this can be done over the phone. We will then see what dates you would like to come along to our training and bereavement support days.
