About the Role
This role will provide evidence based best‐practice assessment, formulation, and intervention for a wide range of mental health disorders and other systemic barriers preventing clients from entering employment or beginning study. You will be supporting our customers to address their non‐vocational barriers and develop their skills and job readiness. The role may also involve delivery of training relevant to the field, and consultancy with other service providers.
To be successful in this role you will have degree level qualifications in a relevant field, i.e. Counselling or Social Work. You must be able to demonstrate experience in delivering a wide range of therapeutic interventions and a high level of interpersonal skills with demonstrated experience in providing counselling and short‐term intervention to customers with complex needs.
This role is being offered on a full‐time, ongoing basis, and will service customers across the North West Country and Mid North regions. Base site negotiable.
Travel will be required across both regions; therefore, a driver's licence and own transport is essential.
