We are looking for trained Clinical Supervisors who have been practising for over 3 years to lead supervision sessions with our volunteer Mentors. We hold these bi-weekly in groups of 3-4 over lunchtime or evenings online.
What will you be doing?
All Been There Mentors who work with our Mentees have monthly group supervision. Usually there are four volunteers in a group. Supervision can take place in person or on zoom.
Commit to supervising a minimum of two groups per month (approx 5 hours in total).
Key Responsibilities:
- To safeguard the wellbeing of the Mentors and ensure that their needs are being addressed.
- To ensure the quality of Mentor support work with Mentees
- To ensure that Mentors are supported and developed, are participating in continued training and are not left to carry difficulties and problems alone.
- To provide regular opportunities for Mentors working with clients to reflect upon both the content and process of their work.
- To develop personal awareness, skills and knowledge relevant to the Mentor’s role within Been There
- To provide a source of general communication, updates and concerns.
- To enable the Mentor to receive information and another’s perspective concerning their work.
- To identify development needs and opportunities.
Insurance costs are covered and the role is fully remote so will not incur any expenses.
What are we looking for?
We’d love to hear from you if you’re passionate about improving the mental health of our Mentees and your qualifications and experience fit the criteria below.
Qualifications and experience:
Essential:
- Qualified Psychologist or therapist
- Qualification in supervision at level 6
- Current or recent experience (within 2 years) as a supervisor
- Have your own experience of being supervised
Desirable:
- Have experience of supporting clients who have been through body image, eating distress or Body Dysmorphia
BeenThere is committed to equal opportunities and anti-discrimination practices and we positively encourage applications from all sections of the community. We are particularly interested in attracting applications from applicants from diverse groups.
What difference will you make?
The impact you can have is huge, as we are such a small charity we rely on the good will of volunteers to support our work. Our Mentors are unicorns! Rare and very special and we want to look after them as much as we can.
Having a confidential setting where they feel safe, supported and heard is integral. This gives the Mentor an opportunity to be open and honest about their own wellbeing and anything that is going on with their Mentees.
We are an app-based charity that connects people over 18 with a vetted and trained Mentor (who has also 'been there') to help with body image issues.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Start times vary between 8 PM and midnight, depending on your role, and last on average 8 hours. We can also offer site-based roles at MoonWalk Arena throughout the night. Early finishes can of course be requested.
Finally, the early morning team take the helm on Sunday Morning, starting between 5-6 AM until midday. Watching the sunrise against an Edinburgh skyline is quite a sight to see! This truly is the most testing time for our Walkers… whether you join the route or MoonWalk Arena teams… your kind and motivating words could be all that is needed to get someone across that finish line!
On the night you will be provided with training, a t-shirt, cap and free light refreshments. All roles will develop teamwork and confidence, no matter what you do on the night… so why not bring your friends and family along to share this unique experience!
