Our Love & Care Manager is the key to unlocking the rewards of this and a resource that must be utilised to the best of your ability. This role will require management and delegation of clients when the team are on leave.

Sales and Revenue Generation: This role will require integrated working with our Client Services Director and Marketing team to ensure that sales support is directed in the right areas at the right times. This ties in with our recruitment strategy and demands. With the candidate’s standing within the Charity community, we also expect this person to unlock significant opportunities within the sector.

Collaboration: This role works very closely with our Client Services Director, who has overall responsibility for all Client Services related activity, and our Love & Care Manager, who will underpin and support all operational and client requirements for the team. Generally, this role requires collaboration across the business in order to guarantee success.

Budget Management: Responsible for creating and monitoring annual, quarterly and monthly sales and GP margin budgets across the Charity sector by individual. Responsible for communicating and agreeing budgets across the team.

We have close and long-standing relationships with local schools, children's services and other professional and voluntary sector organisations throughout the Borough, which enables us to reach the most disadvantaged and vulnerable young people who can benefit from the support we offer. We are part of Kingston Children and Young People's Network, led by Kingston Voluntary Action. which looks at areas such as local statutory plans for children and young people, child safeguarding and best practice sharing. This provides excellent networking and partnership working opportunities with other local groups.

We are looking for a committed, passionate and qualified Counsellor or Psychotherapist to coordinate an age-appropriate bereavement counselling and support service for children and young people, in partnership with the KBS Lead Service Coordinator. As well as undertaking one-to-one clinical work, the successful candidate will work as part of small team to coordinate a professional, effective, and quality bereavement counselling and support service for children and young people who live, work or study or are registered with a GP in the borough of Kingston upon Thames.
