There are many ways for you to get involved in our work here at Birchall
Trustees
Birchall is faced with unprecedented demand for its services and is embarking on an ambitious three-year strategic development plan following consultation with the people we have helped.
Do you want to make a difference for survivors of sexual abuse / violence?
We have recently conducted a skills review within our current Board membership and have established that we are specifically looking for new Trustees with expertise in one of the following areas:
-
Human Resources
-
Fundraising
-
Business Management
-
Marketing and social media
For more details on role responsibilities, please see our application pack
Ambassadors
Ambassadors help us raise our profile and make an impact. Their support is vital to our campaigning and fundraising work.
Birchall Trust Ambassadors come from a wide range of backgrounds, so you could be an influencer in business/the media, or someone with lived experience of our services.

Student Placements
We offer student placements for people who are undertaking training at diploma, degree, or masters level in counselling and psychotherapy. We will support you throughout your entire time with us, offering help and advice where you need it, and providing you with training and other information that you can apply to your professional and personal development. We already have students from a wide range of universities and colleges, and have proudly seen many of our students develop into fully qualified practitioners through us.
As our placements could involve working one-to-one with children and vulnerable adults, we will ask that you undertake a Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) Check before starting with us. This will be arranged after your interview.
