Therapist roles
We are always keen to hear from qualified therapists. As Share is a voluntary organisation, we would not be able to offer low-cost therapy without the generosity of our therapists.
Volunteering with Share will give you the opportunity to work with clients who cannot otherwise access psychotherapy, over a long period of time. Beyond direct one-one therapy, there are opportunities to develop skills in assessment, long-term therapy and participate in research projects.

Are you a fully qualified (BACP/HCPC/UKCP) counsellor, creative therapist or psychotherapist able to spare three or four hours per week? Would you like to join a small but vital mental health charity in Sheffield, facilitating weekly, long-term psychotherapy for those most in need?
We ask our qualified therapists to commit to 4 hours a week, for a minimum of a year.
In return we offer:
Fortnightly supervision groups. (a max of 4 therapists in each group).
Ad hoc support from our clinical team.
Free access to regular CPD events with both in-house trainers and external facilitators.
