Qualified Volunteer Counsellor

Croydon Drop In (CDI) are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Student Volunteer Counsellors on Placement to work within our award-winning Voluntary Sector services. The post-holder will work within our safeguarding protocols to provide safe interventions for children and young people using evidence-based methodologies. The post holder will safely work with people across different cultural backgrounds and ages and will be committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. 
Our team is supported by student practitioners completing their final year of their practitioner studies.
Please note:
Counselling training providers usually require you to obtain a certain amount of client contact hours with adults i.e. 18 years plus, therefore it’s important to note that the majority of clients accessing our CDI counselling services are under 18 years of age. As a student placement provider, CDI makes for an ideal 2nd placement that will ensure you have adequate young people contact hours, largely under 18 years of age, providing you with the learning experiences you need to meet the competency requirements of your training course and provider. It is important to check with your training provider, the cap on the number of under 18 years of age clients permitted for your course.

We also work collaboratively with a range of charities and expert organisations to leverage best-in-class knowledge and expertise to inform, develop and improve outcomes for the children,&nbsp;families&nbsp;and schools we support.&nbsp;We ask our staff team to share our core values of perseverance, integrity,&nbsp;compassion&nbsp;and creativity, and to have the skills and patience to support some of the UK’s most vulnerable children and families.
Our values:
We believe that how we approach our work is as important as the work itself. Our four key values shape everything we do:
Compassion&nbsp;– We bring empathy and kindness to all we do, to better understand and meet the needs of children and young people, colleagues and other stakeholders.
Integrity&nbsp;– We demonstrate sound ethical values in all our work, and we are honest, transparent, courageous and authentic.
Perseverance&nbsp;– We have the courage to continue in the face of adversity and do this with determination to find effective solutions.
Creativity&nbsp;– We bring an open-minded approach and flexibility to our thinking and actions and enable others to do the same.&nbsp;
