We are currently recruiting for a Lead Counsellor at Hospice in the Weald. This role is for three days a week (22.5 hours), leading a team of staff and volunteer counsellors who are responsible for providing bereavement and pre-bereavement support to individuals accessing our services.
We require a highly organised, skilled, caring, and compassionate individual to provide specialist support for our Counselling and Support Service Team.
Carrying your own caseload, you will be working as part of a dedicated, hardworking, and responsive team to deliver much-needed support to patients, relatives, and carers, including bereaved loved ones. You will also be part of the wider Hospice Team, working collaboratively across the services to bring exceptional support to those accessing our services.
We offer excellent training and development opportunities in addition to four CPD days a year, which you will lead on, with the opportunity of bringing in external trainers in line with budget.

Part of the role is responsibility for this annual renewal.
