We are looking for qualified supervisors with an understanding of bereavement and loss to provide clinical supervision to Bereavement Support Volunteers (BSVs) in our Adult Bereavement Service. You will support BSVs to develop their awareness, skills, and knowledge of bereavement support work including the capacity to identify safeguarding concerns, to risk assess client material, and to act in accordance with St Christophers safeguarding policies and procedures. You will also arrange a 6-month (and thereafter on an annual basis) review meeting with each newly trained BSV and, following each meeting, complete the necessary paperwork.

You will be a qualified counsellor and clinical supervisor who has a full Zoom account and the IT skills necessary both to work online and to produce a high-quality written record in a timely manner.
