Children and Young 's counsellor volunteer

Children and Young People’s Counsellor Volunteer

As a Children & Young People’s Counsellor Volunteer, you’ll provide Level 3 counselling (NICE guidance) to children and young people under 18. You will work with clients at home, in our hospice buildings (St Albans/Watford), in schools, or online. You will support young people navigating illness, bereavement, and change, use an integrative or pluralistic approach to help children express themselves in ways that feel right for them, manage a small caseload independently within a warm, supportive team, attend monthly supervision and regular team meetings, and help reach more families who otherwise may not get the support they need.

At Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, our unique care provides a lifeline of compassion and support to patients, carers, and families facing progressive life‑limiting illness. We provide palliative and end‑of‑life care support, including bereavement services, within Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Our patient services are available to adults, and to patients transitioning into adult services (16 to 25 years). Bereavement support is offered for all ages to families of patients and those around them, as well as throughout the community, in schools and workplaces.

We are proud to offer care in the place that best suits the individual’s needs, whether that’s at home, in a care home, in a short stay in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or in our purpose‑built Living Well Centre facilities. As a hospice care charity, we have offered this support, free of charge, for over 40 years.
