Suicide Bereavement Peer Support Volunteer

5 months ago

Eaton Socon, United Kingdom Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide Full time

Have you been Bereaved by Suicide? Do you have a desire to help other people who have also been Bereaved by Suicide? Are you comfortable listening to the experiences of others? If you are over 18 and have been bereaved for more than 2 years, you could be just the person we are looking for.

We have self-help support groups across the UK, where you can meet with other people who have been bereaved by suicide and we want to enrol some new volunteers to start a new Peer Support Group in Eaton Socon. Typically, our groups meet once a month and last for around 2 hours. They provide an opportunity to listen, to share, to ask questions and to connect with others.

Each local SoBS group is run by a team of 3: the group leader and two group volunteers, all of whom have been bereaved by suicide themselves. Between them, they facilitate the session, get the conversation started, make sure everyone has the opportunity to talk if they want to, and generally look out for people and each other. The team also work together to manage the administration, fundraising and communication for the group, sometimes with the help of additional support volunteers.

There is no set structure to a session - people are free to talk and listen as they wish. The topics discussed vary from month to month but often includes people sharing their story, how they are feeling, what has happened since their last group visit, questions about coroners and discussions about common challenges such as flashbacks, supporting children or facing neighbours. Many groups also offer a small resource library and can share information about local sources of support.

**Job Types**: Part-time, Volunteer
Part-time hours: 1-2 per week

**Benefits**:

- Employee mentoring programme
- Free or subsidised travel
- Sabbatical

Application question(s):

- Have you been bereaved by or impacted by a suicide loss?
