Could you give one hour a month to hold a safe, reflective space for a team of bereavement support volunteers? We are looking for a qualified therapist to facilitate a monthly online group; a place for our volunteers to process, decompress and feel supported.
The New Normal is a charity that runs free peer support groups for people navigating bereavement, facilitated by a dedicated team of volunteers across the UK.
Our volunteers dedicate their time and energy to supporting others through emotionally challenging times, and we want to make sure they feel equally held and supported in that work. We are looking for a qualified therapist to facilitate a monthly online group session for our volunteers: a safe, reflective space where they can process what comes up, let off steam, and when required be offered reflective feedback.
This is a facilitation role rather than a clinical one. You would be holding the space, normalising emotions, and offering a warm, containing presence, not providing individual therapy or carrying clinical responsibility for group members.
What we are looking for:
— A qualified or experienced therapist, ideally with a person-centred or integrative background
— Experience of group work or group facilitation (desirable but not essential)
— An affinity with bereavement, peer support, or community-based work
— Warmth, groundedness, and the ability to hold a group with confidence
What we can offer:
— Access to free safeguarding, peer support and Sucide First Aid (lite) training worth £500 (optional)
— A warm, motivated and reflective group of volunteers who care deeply about what they do
— Full support from The New Normal team
— The opportunity to contribute to a charity doing vital work in the bereavement space
This is a voluntary, unpaid role. We are happy to discuss the scope of the role in detail and support you in checking any requirements with your professional body or insurer before you commit.

We believe that no one should have to deal with grief or mental health alone: we combat isolation through creating connection.
