Location: Liverpool
Hours: Varied
The group meets every month on a Thursday, usually the fourth Thursday of the month.
Our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer groups meet 11am to 1pm, with a slightly longer meeting each quarter (11am to 1.30pm) when an expert speaker presents on a relevant topic.
Our groups are usually held in hospitality or community venues in the town or city centre.
Pay: We offer flat fees for work undertaken delivering our services as listed below:
<ul>
<li>£135 for facilitating a 2 hour group session</li>
<li>£155 for facilitating a quarterly 2.5 hour speaker session</li>
<li>£16 admin fee per session</li>
<li>Additional fees for attending training and meetings or facilitating a larger annual information event.</li>
</ul>
We do not provide expenses or any fee for travel time or costs. However, we do reimburse car parking costs, if applicable, at the venue the group is held.
The role
We’re currently looking for experienced facilitators with a counselling qualification (minimum Level 4 diploma) to deliver our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer (LWSBC) group in Liverpool. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our LWSBC groups offer support and information to anyone living with a diagnosis of secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. The groups offer a safe space where people can come to talk freely and share experiences and mutual support with others who understand, away from friends and family. They’re not therapeutic support groups in the traditional sense but are delivered in accordance with our UK-Wide service model, developed and tested for over 10 years.
The group will meet monthly at 11am – 1pm with a slightly longer group each quarter (11am – 1.30pm) when an expert speaker presents on a relevant topic.
You’ll be responsible for facilitating the groups, drawing upon your therapeutic skills as required. Ensuring all attendees are given time to share and supported to take part in discussion, including around challenging topics affecting this patient group such as end of life. You’ll work independently in your region, with sole responsibility for facilitating each group, liaising with venue staff as required. You’ll act as an ambassador for Breast Cancer Now, promoting our charitable aims and building professional relationships with healthcare professionals who attend.
This is offered as a contract for services position and as such the appointed contractor would not be an employee of Breast Cancer Now but a self-employed individual. We require all contractors to adhere to and follow Breast Cancer Now applicable policies and procedures and to undertake some mandatory training in core subjects such as data protection and cyber security. A satisfactory criminal record check will be required.
About you
You’ll have a counselling qualification and experience of facilitating groups, preferably ongoing support groups for people affected by cancer or a life-limiting long-term condition, or other vulnerable/sensitive group. You’ll have a warm and approachable manner, able to communicate sensitively with people facing difficult challenges. You’ll be confident using your own initiative and dealing with unforeseen challenges when working alone and be able to travel to facilitate the group in person from your home address.
About us
We’re Breast Cancer Now, the research and support charity. We’re the place to turn to for anything and everything to do with breast cancer. However you’re experiencing breast cancer, we’re here.
The brightest minds in breast cancer research are here. Making life-saving research happen in labs across the UK and Ireland. Support services, trustworthy breast cancer information and specialist nurses are here. Ready to support you whenever you need it.&nbsp;Dedicated campaigners are here. Fighting for the best possible treatment, services and care for anyone affected by breast cancer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
How to apply
Please submit an online application form via the link provided.
Closing date: Monday 4 August 2025
Interview dates: Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 August 2025
Observation date (successful candidate):
The successful candidate will be invited to observe one of the existing LWSBC groups as part of the induction process. Date and location to be confirmed.

About the BoroughThis special place in South West London between the capital and the country has been a Royal borough longer than anywhere else - it is where the first kings of England were crowned.Today it is a vibrant and diverse borough, with a long history and strong cultural and community heritage. Kingston's riverside location, fantastic retail offer, historic market place and church, parks and gardens all make Kingston town centre the vibrant space it is, and each of our district town centres (Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth and Chessington) have something unique to offer.Situated in Zone 6, Kingston is among the best-connected town centres in London – with direct train links from Kingston and Surbiton stations to Clapham Junction and London Waterloo, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and Tramlink.Kingston’s people are innovative and entrepreneurial, and have a strong sense of community pride. The borough has been home to great industry and creativity for many years, reflected in assets such as the Rose Theatre, the International Youth Arts Festival and Kingston University, which boasts more new graduate business start-ups than any other.We have seen tremendous generosity and compassion within our communities, particularly in response to COVID-19, which is a demonstration of Kingston’s key strength. The council offers a strong level of support to vulnerable groups and those who need additional support, which has also increased significantly as a result of the pandemic.
