Candidates do not need to have extensive experience of providing bereavement support as training is provided.

One of our Support Workers says:

"There are many opportunities for training and to learn at Nelson's Journey. As part of my continued professional development, the charity supported me to access the Working in Childhood Bereavement course. Having gained this qualification, I was then able to lead on our new Early Support service."

The post will be based in Little Plumstead, Norfolk, and includes outreach work in other parts of Norfolk, expected to mainly be in West Norfolk.

A willingness to work flexible hours and occasional weekends is required. Access to a vehicle is essential, for which the appropriate mileage rate will be paid. The post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. The successful candidate must be committed to the safeguarding of children and young people. Right to Work in the UK will need to be established. We are an equal opportunities employer.
