The Loss Foundation is a registered charity specialising in providing bereavement support for people whose loved ones die of cancer. The charity is run by volunteer psychologists and professionals working in mental health, as well as those from other professions.

The charity hosts bereavement support groups and other therapeutic events online, and offers in-person support across the country in the form of informal get-togethers and walks.

Our wonderful charity team is expanding, and we are looking to take on more compassionate, reliable, and conscientious volunteers with excellent communication skills and an interest in helping others.

Honorary psychologist roles involve co-facilitating bereavement support groups and events for people whose loved ones have died from cancer; having supervision from Clinical Psychologists, and engaging in continuous CPD and training.

The successful candidates will have excellent organisational skills, initiative, flexibility, warmth, and enthusiasm for learning more about bereavement support. Volunteers will receive scheduled supervision from Clinical Psychologists, participate in continued professional development sessions, and have the opportunity to contribute to research. The charity offers excellent training, opportunities, and CPD for those interested in pursuing careers in psychology. We are also very open to applications from individuals with a general interest in helping others.

We are passionate about offering the best possible care to an often-ignored population. We ask for at least a 2-year commitment, which involves facilitating at least 2-3 times a month (evening-based). You can find out more about the charity at www.thelossfoundation.org

Applications will only be considered if you provide a cover letter and a copy of your CV, which can be sent to [emailprotected]. The application process will close on the 30th of June but may be closed earlier if we receive a high number of candidates. Successful candidates will be invited to an interview with some of the charity’s team.
