What do you do?

I supervise counsellors who talk to children and young people on the phone and on-line and lead risk assessments. I regularly supervise counsellors on a group and individual basis outside the counselling room; interview counselling applicants; train new counsellors; facilitate workshops and specific trainings; case-manage regular callers; appraise counsellors; supervise sessional and contracted supervisors, oversee referral feedbacks; facilitate project visits to ChildLine and carry out media work.

It is a very fulfilling, dynamic and diverse job.

I came to ChildLine from another charitable organisation, which became an NSPCC service in 2006.

What benefits are there?

Access to free training; security; working with a supportive team.

What do you find rewarding about your job?

Working for an organisation with such an honourable and humane cause.

What values do you feel are important for working with the NSPCC?

Being child-centred; protecting and safeguarding children; believing in NSPCC's vision, respectful and non-judgemental attitude towards everyone.
