We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Are you a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, clinical or counselling psychologist with substantial experience in counselling and/or psychotherapy? Would you like to work within a multi-disciplinary Counselling and Wellbeing Team supporting students to reach their full potential? Do you have an understanding of the needs and priorities of counselling and wellbeing services in Higher Educational settings?
The University of Leeds is one of the top 75 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.
Student Counselling and Wellbeing is part of the Student Education Service and provides a wide range of excellent and innovative support to help students manage psychological, emotional and mental health difficulties whilst at University. As part of the University’s commitment to delivering an exceptional student experience these roles will increase the capacity of Student Counselling and Wellbeing to support students to overcome emotional and psychological difficulties during their time at University.
Student Counselling and Wellbeing is a large multi-disciplinary team that supports students through primarily time limited, focused interventions. In addition to individual appointments the service offers a comprehensive groups and psychoeducational webinar/workshop programme; same day support in partnership with Leeds University Union; a Clinical Consultation and Guidance service for University staff and critical incident response and support.
You will be committed to working collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team, confident in clinical assessment and risk management, and it is essential that you are enthusiastic about focused, short-term interventions in both counselling and wider wellbeing and mental health support.
You will hold a professional level counselling or psychotherapy qualification in any modality to Diploma/Masters level and be fully accredited by BACP, UKCP or BABCP. Clinical or counselling psychologists must have achieved chartered status with BPS and be registered with HCPC.
Please note BACP membership or registration without accreditation is not sufficient.
Applicants who consider themselves to hold equivalent professional credentials need to provide a statement of equivalency with their application.
