About us
Founded in 1967, St Christopher’s is a world renown leading Hospice supporting individuals at end of life and those close to them across five London boroughs; Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. The ABS team are passionate about offering a range of support to adults who are grieving after the death of someone the Hospice has supported at end of life. Additionally, we offer community bereavement support to anyone who lives or has a GP in the Bromley or Lewisham boroughs.
About the role
This is a fabulous opportunity for a qualified counsellor (Level 4 diploma or above) to join the thriving Adult Bereavement Team at St Christopher’s. The focus of the role is to co-ordinate an allocated section of the ABS volunteer workforce (called Bereavement Support Volunteers or BSVs) to support those adults who have been assessed as needing bereavement support. This may be delivered through 1-1 sessions or a therapeutic group. The Lead will ensure that BSVs are fulfilling their obligations and adhering to the St Christopher’s policies, procedures and organisational values as well as responding to any queries from the BSVs. The successful applicants will spend 20% of their conditioned hours on client facing clinical work which may include a caseload of individual or group work.
