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 through informal get-togethers and walks.

Our charity team is expanding, and we are looking for 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 those who have lost loved ones to cancer; these roles include supervision from Clinical Psychologists, ongoing CPD, and training.

Successful candidates will have excellent organisational skills, initiative, flexibility, warmth, and enthusiasm for learning more about bereavement support. Volunteers will receive scheduled supervision, continued professional development, and have opportunities to contribute to research. The charity offers excellent training, CPD, and opportunities for those interested in psychology careers. We welcome applications from individuals with a general interest in helping others.
