Remote (Surrey and surrounding areas) | 18 – 24 hours
£27,500 pro rata | Flexible working | Real impact
Are you kind, caring, and professional – the sort of person who listens deeply, holds space for others, and wants to make a real difference?
At Jigsaw South East, we support children and young people who are facing or coping with the death of a loved one. We’re looking for a compassionate and confident Grief Support Worker to join our small, dedicated team.
In this role, you’ll:
- Support families one-to-one and in groups, both pre- and post-bereavement
- Hold meaningful (and sometimes tough) conversations with warmth and sensitivity
- Help children feel less alone in their grief, and families feel more connected
- Contribute to our PIECES group programme, helpline, and referral process
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to walk alongside people at one of the hardest points in their lives and offer light, steadiness, and support.
We’re looking for someone who brings:
- A warm, person-centred approach

- Emotional resilience and a strong sense of purpose
- The ability to travel across Surrey and attend some evening/weekend sessions
We offer:
- Flexible working
- TOIL and supervision
- Ongoing training and personal growth
- A supportive, values-led team who genuinely care
If you believe in the power of kindness and want to help children feel seen, safe, and supported, we’d love to hear from you.
