Applications are now open for students looking for a Practice Placement
Cruse Scotland is seeking to recruit enthusiastic and compassionate placement student volunteers to support clients across the country.
Applicants should be undertaking an advanced level of counselling skills/training at SQCF level 9/10/11, BACP, COSCA or other equivalent validated organisations. You must also have your ‘Readiness to Practice’ in place before applying. Please refer to the information leaflet for further details before completing your application form. Please note we are not currently recruiting HND or DipHE level courses.
Our two-day Grief and Loss training is delivered before taking up a placement with us. Training dates are Saturday 4 & Sunday 5 October 2025. We require all applicants to attend both training days, which are assessed. There will also be a two-hour local induction for those who successfully complete the training.
The training will be delivered via Zoom therefore you must have access to a PC/laptop/tablet for both training days. The format of the course is a mix of trainer led delivery, skills practice and eLearning. Please also be prepared to engage in role play as part of this learning.
Closing date for applications is Monday 1 September 2025 at 12 noon with interviews taking place during the week beginning 15 September 2025.
