Preferred Providers Framework (paid work)

Come and work with us! Do what you love - whether that's facilitating a self-help or training course, leading a group to learn a new activity or skill or take up a new interest. If you're passionate about supporting people with their mental health and have a skill or hobby that you want to share, we want to hear from you!

Our preferred providers framework allows you to join us as an independent provider, perhaps once a week at a set time for group work or for one or two hours a week as a qualified counsellor in addition to your current job or to boost your self employed earnings. With no referral fees, room hire or other costs, our session rate is exactly what you will get, no deductions! All we ask is that you commit to turning up regularly, on time and as arranged - the last thing we want to do is let our clients down.  

The goal for our framework is to:

    , for other roles, please complete this pre-qualification questionnaire and return it to office@doncastermind.org.uk 
  2. Arrange to meet us to discuss your application - we'll contact you!
  3. Provide your documents (including insurances and a DBS certificate dated within 3 months of application)
  4. We will then add you to our framework and let you know any current opportunities we have 

Anyone currently on our framework will be assessed against the role description for any opportunities we have. Where there are no suitable providers on our framework the role will then be advertised on our website. Please note that joining our preferred provider framework does not guarantee the offer of a opportunity but it is our preferred way of fulfilling the opportunities we have to offer.
