Counsellor (LGBTQ+ Service) Required: London
We’re looking for a Counsellor to support people in Merton who define as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning.
Counsellor (LGBTQ+ Service) (part-time)
Hours: 22.5 hours (including Tuesdays in the office and one evening a week)
Closing date for applications: Monday 29th April 2024 at 8am
Wimbledon Guild is a community charity in Merton offering practical help and support so that people never have to face life’s challenges alone.
We’ve recently secured 5 years of funding to provide counselling for marginalised communities. As the Counsellor (LGBTQ+ Service), you will provide up to 16 sessions to individuals over 18 that live, work or study in the London Borough of Merton and define as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning.
You will be responsible for all aspects of the work, including administrative procedures, following our policies and protocols, liaising with mental health services, and making onward referrals where necessary.
You’ll be working as part of a well-established team of colleagues, within the department and organisation. The service predominantly works within a psychodynamic framework; therefore, a working knowledge of psychodynamic thinking is crucial for all those applying for this role, including the ability to work with the unconscious and counter transference processes that arise in the work.
If this sounds like you, it would be great to hear from you. Please complete an application form below, detailing in the Supporting Statement how you meet the person specification.
