To help us assess applications fairly and consistently, we will only be able to consider applications where both documents have been provided.
If you are a qualified counsellor who supports children, young people and families with compassion, sensitivity and respect through trauma, bereavement and anticipatory grief, while valuing each persons unique experience, this could be the role for you.
As a Bluebell Wood Counsellor, you will provide professional, competent and ethical counselling to children and adults affected by life-shortening conditions, palliative care or end-of-life care. Working under the direction of the Family Wellbeing and Counselling Coordinator, you will help ensure that therapeutic support is safe, responsive and delivered in line with BACP requirements.
Main duties of the job
What you will do
You will manage a balanced caseload and provide in-person or remote therapy according to client need, working autonomously within professional and organisational policies and referring complex needs appropriately.
You will keep accurate, confidential records and appointments on The Care Database, monitor attendance, provide reports, comply with GDPR, and promptly escalate safeguarding or other concerns.
You will build effective relationships with children, young people and families, collaborate with hospice and external services, and signpost needs outside bereavement or anticipatory grief support.

What you will need:
You must be a BACP-registered qualified counsellor, trained to work with children, with relevant post-qualifying experience and sound referral judgement.
You will communicate sensitively, build trust and use sound judgement when assessing need, managing risk and safeguarding. Bereavement counselling experience with children is essential; palliative care experience is desirable.

About us
Why join Bluebell Wood?
At Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice, we're committed to ensuring every baby, child and young person with a life-limiting condition can access specialist palliative care whenever and wherever they need it. Supporting families across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire and parts of North Lincolnshire, we provide a wide range of expert services tailored to each family's needs, including respite care, symptom management, counselling, therapies, home visits and end-of-life support. Delivering this vital care costs around £6.7 million each year, yet only around 17% of our income comes from government funding, meaning we rely heavily on fundraising, donations and community support. That's why every role at Bluebell Wood matters.
In this purpose-driven role, you will provide compassionate, professional counselling that embraces individuality and helps children, young people and families navigate trauma, bereavement and anticipatory grief with specialist support tailored to their needs.

Job summary
Are you an enthusiastic and passionate Occupational Therapist looking for a role where you can learn and develop every day? Do you want to take on professional challenges with the support of a highly skilled team in Crewe? If so, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your career.
Working within our Community Mental Health Team, you will manage a caseload with autonomy while receiving support from senior staff and peers. As we implement a new Community Occupational Need Pathway, you will help shape future service delivery and improve patient outcomes. While your main focus will be working-age adults, you will also gain experience across adult and older adult services.
You will deliver evidence-based Occupational Therapy interventions, work with colleagues across health and social care integrated hubs, and promote the value of Occupational Therapy within multidisciplinary teams and community networks.
We are looking for someone with enthusiasm for community mental health practice, a strong professional identity, excellent clinical reasoning, communication and time-management skills, and a commitment to collaboration and sharing best practice.
In return, we offer regular supervision, peer support and preceptorship for newly qualified clinicians, professional and personal development opportunities, and access to a wider Occupational Therapy network across Cheshire and Wirral for shared learning and mentorship.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will have a key role in providing Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions to adult mental health service users, as part of an integrated multidisciplinary team. This is a dynamic and rewarding role in directly influencing positive recovery and outcomes for service users.
You will be an enthusiastic, adaptable and highly motivated Occupational Therapist with a keen interest in mental health. You will be able to take on the challenges of managing a caseload and facilitating the Occupational Therapy pathway, completing timely individual assessment and interventions to support service users during their journey with the CMHT.
You will also be contributing to planning and facilitating the therapeutic group program as part of the team.
You will be committed to the 6Cs and person-centred care.
Support is provided from Senior Occupational Therapy staff in the CMHT, and our wider Occupational therapist working in other community teams. Our Therapy service is always growing and developing.
We encourage commitment to clinical supervision, Continuing Professional Development and Practice Placement Education. The work pattern is Monday-Friday day, 09.00- 17.00, excluding Bank Holidays.
This is an ideal career development opportunity for a new graduate Occupational Therapist, or practitioners looking to develop expertise within mental health and a community setting.
