We often have opportunities for placement counsellors in training and volunteer counsellors and take on additional support throughout the year to meet demand. Relevant expenses are paid for all volunteers. Please contact us at info@thehavenashby.org.uk to find out if there are any current vacancies or to note your interest for when future opportunities arise.
We require you to complete an application form and provide references and proof of qualifications. You will then be invited for an interview. Following success in this and a successful enhanced DBS check, you will be offered a place on the team. Qualified counsellors are voluntary but The Haven will meet costs of one hour of supervision per month, up to a maximum of £55.
Following completion of an application form and references, you will be invited for an interview. You will be required to undergo enhanced DBS check. If you are offered a placement you will be required to fund your own supervision but travel expenses will be met within certain mileage. We are not able to offer in-house supervision.
Do you have a background in counselling or pastoral care? Would you like to improve the experiences of those seeking support? The Haven Counselling Service will sometimes be looking for new volunteer Trustees.
We are a low-cost, open ended counselling service with a Christian background and ethos. We are a registered charity and provide services in Loughborough and Ashby. We work with clients needing support for all reasons — childhood trauma, bereavement, relationship breakdown etc.
Trustee meetings take place every 2 months and are usually on Zoom. The trustees give guidance and support to the manager, decide on the direction of the Charity, provide financial oversight and ensure it complies with good governance. If you would like to know more about the charity, please look at The Haven website. If you would like to register an interest for future opportunities to serve as a trustee, please email info@thehavenashby.org.uk.
