Suicide Bereavement Support Worker / Counsellor (BACP Registered)
Location: Field-based across the Black Country
Contract: Permanent, Part-Time 17.5 Hours
Salary: £13,228.50 (based on 17.5 hours)

Make a real difference when it matters most
At Rethink Mental Illness, we believe everyone deserves support, understanding and hope—especially during life’s most difficult moments.
We’re looking for a compassionate and skilled Suicide Bereavement Support Worker / Counsellor to join our Support After Suicide Service in the Black Country. In this role, you’ll walk alongside people navigating grief after suicide—helping them find strength, meaning, and ways to cope.
This is more than a counselling role. It’s an opportunity to be part of a service that reaches people at a deeply vulnerable time and supports them, their families, and their wider networks with empathy and expertise.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll deliver high-quality, person-centred support in community settings, working flexibly to meet people where they are—emotionally and physically.

Your work will include:

Providing specialist suicide bereavement counselling tailored to individual needs
Supporting people to understand and manage grief, build coping strategies, and move forward
Carrying out risk assessments and safeguarding responsibilities
Delivering 1:1 support, family sessions, and contributing to group support
Working collaboratively with colleagues, partners, and local services
Keeping clear, accurate clinical records and measuring outcomes
Helping reduce waiting times by managing a structured caseload
Building relationships across communities to improve access and awareness
Contributing to the continuous improvement of the service

You’ll be part of a compassionate, multi-disciplinary team, delivering support face-to-face, by phone, and digitally.

About you
You bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to your work.

Essential:

Diploma in Counselling (or equivalent) and BACP registration/eligibility
Experience delivering bereavement counselling
Strong understanding of grief and loss
Experience conducting assessments and managing risk
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Ability to work independently, manage a caseload, and remain resilient in emotionally demanding situations
Commitment to inclusive, person-centred practice
Willingness to work flexibly, including occasional evenings and weekends

Desirable:

Experience with trauma-informed approaches
Experience working with children and young people
Knowledge of the Black Country
Training in suicide prevention (e.g. ASIST, SafeTalk)
Lived experience of bereavement by suicide

How you’ll work

Field-based, working across the Black Country
Flexible delivery including home visits, community settings, and remote support
Core service hours: 10am–6pm, with some evening/weekend flexibility
Working with around 150–200 referrals per year as part of a wider team

Ready to apply?
If you’re passionate about supporting people through grief and want to be part of a service that truly changes lives, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now and help us provide hope when it’s needed most.
