Phyllis Tuckwell Recruitment Day for Student Counsellors

Phyllis Tuckwell will be holding a Student Counsellor Recruitment Event on Wednesday 9^th February, and the deadline for applications for the event is no later than 4pm on Wednesday 26th January.

The Recruitment Day is for those embarking on a (minimum) level 4* diploma or Foundation Degree in Counselling and looking to secure a two-year placement with Phyllis Tuckwell, which provides supportive and end of life care for local patients and families who are living with an advanced or terminal illness, such as cancer. Applicants should expect to attend from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Following this insightful and informative day, Phyllis Tuckwell hopes to be able to offer placements to the successful students.

“We are proud to offer a very supportive learning environment within our team of experienced counsellors and we take our educative role very seriously,” says Claire Tune, Clinical Supervisor at Phyllis Tuckwell. “We offer our students ongoing support throughout their two-year training, regular supervision with a qualified supervisor (in line with BACP requirements), provide written feedback and reports as required, and offer all students the opportunity to attend any CPD training we may hold.”

Those who are offered a placement can initially expect to work with bereaved adults whose loved one was cared for at Phyllis Tuckwell. Their work and progress will be closely monitored, and as they develop as a counsellor they will progress to working with carers and possibly also patients. Phyllis Tuckwell abides by and works within the BACP ethical framework.

If you are interested in attending this Recruitment Event, please contact the Patient & Family Support Team to request an application pack (pafs@pth.org.uk). The closing date for receipt of completed applications is no later than 4pm on Wednesday 26th January. Attendance is by invitation only and successful applicants will notified by 5pm on Wednesday 2nd February.
