Opportunities exist for "Community Support" volunteers which involves meeting/greeting clients and occasional admin tasks. It is a role ideal for 1st year trainee counsellors wishing to gain non-clinical experience in a setting working with victims of childhood abuse. Full Induction training and supervision provided. Travel expenses reimbursed. Enhanced DBS required, but this can be applied for during your Induction Training.

Counsellors/psychotherapists

 

Counsellors in training and qualified counsellors also needed. As a therapeutic community all Team members are expected to volunteer some hours in addition to their volunteer / paid counselling/psychotherapy hours. Enhanced DBS required but this can be applied for during your Induction Training. Particularly suitable for those practitioners wishing to work with adult victims of trauma/abuse in childhood. See poster for further details.

​

​

There is a two stage application process to be a counsellor at Aurora.  The first stage is to apply for the volunteer community support role (outlined in the flyer above) involving a weekly commitment working one “shift” a week (up to 4.5 hours) lasting for 2-3 months. This is an orientation period which would then lead on to stage two which is to apply for a clinical placement and if successful involves a period of clinical induction lasting 6-8 weeks.  

 

The process outlined above means that applicants wouldn’t start working with clients (apart from the clinical induction period which involves counselling one volunteer “client”) for 4-5 months once the volunteer role starts.

If you are interested in either of these roles please contact us on info@aurorafoundation.org.uk for further details.
