We’re looking for volunteers with relevant experience to support our assessment calls with families referred to Guy’s Gift. This role may suit people with experience in bereavement support, counselling, social care, education or similar settings, including counselling trainees completing a placement with us.

Volunteers will call families at an agreed time, use our assessment process to gather information about the bereavement and how the family is coping, and offer basic advice and guidance about supporting a bereaved child or young person.

Following the call, information will be passed to the Delivery Team Leader, who will review the assessment and agree the appropriate support pathway.

Full training, guidance and support will be provided. Volunteers will need good listening and communication skills, confidence discussing bereavement, and an understanding of appropriate professional boundaries.
