At Forget Me Not, we don’t just care for children with life-shortening conditions, we care for their families too. Families who may be traumatised by the struggle of caring for a child with complex heath needs or by bereavement.

​We also support families whose child has died suddenly and unexpectedly, often in traumatic circumstances. We’re looking to build our pool of professionals from a range of therapeutic disciplines so that we can match family members with the right support for them. With an accredited qualification in trauma therapy including compassion-focused, EMDR etc, you’ll have a deep knowledge of trauma, particularly in relation to grief and loss and/or palliative care and experience of delivering counselling and psychotherapy within a structured programme.

​You might have your own practice, or currently be working in the NHS or another charitable organisation and be looking to expand your understanding of children’s hospice care. Services could be delivered at the hospice, within a local community space or within your own designated therapy space (if available).

For more details and to discuss how we can best work together, please contact Vicky Bruce at vicky.bruce@forgetmenotchild.co.uk
