About Opportunity
SCIM are looking for people within your area to join a team of telephone support workers. We are currently expanding and setting up a telephone support network throughout Scotland to provide this much needed care. Without people working within local communities many women would be left without access to support or information about miscarriage and also about future pregnancies. All volunteers receive extensive training prior to working within the community. The training involves counselling-skills and SVQ qualifications within advice and guidance. Certification is provided by the Scottish Qualification Authority. If you want to learn skills, receive certification and be part of a national network of telephone support workers which improve the standard of care for women and families in scotland then this opportunity is available and offers on-going training.
About Scottish Care and Information on Miscarriage
SCIM provides counselling, information, advocacy and resources relating to miscarriage and related issues. We provide access to one to one support for women and families who have suffered through pregnancy loss. This support is offered either face to face at our main contact address or via the telephone.
Skills & Experience
We are looking for people who have an understanding of miscarriage and the issues which surround this type of loss. Good communication skills, friendly manner, good telephone manner, listening skills. Previous counselling experience is not necessary.
Travel Details
All training is carried out over the telephone and through written materials being sent out to each volunteer. Travel is therefore unnecessary. All costs of training and expenses are provided by SCIM as all calls will be received by volunteers no out going calls required. (Volunteers can work from home.)
