Job description

Associate Trauma Counsellor Required: Home-based/Online

Salary: £30 per hour

Location: home based, online

Contract: initial 6 months self employed with possibility of an employed role at the end of the initial period

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Trauma-Focused Therapist to join our award-winning, innovative team. We operate in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, and we are looking for someone who is comfortable working with risk.

In this role, you will work with victim/survivors of sexual violence within a clearly defined and structured framework, focusing on phase 1 trauma therapy. You will utilize your knowledge of working with the impact of traumatic experiences, identifying and managing risk, intense emotions, behaviors, and other trauma responses to offer focused, time-limited, and open-ended therapy sessions remotely via video.

This role initially is 6 months on a self-employed basis with the possibility of an employed role after the initial period. Within the 16 hours, you will see up to 13 clients per week, attend team meetings, case management, and clinical supervision. All supervision is funded by Trauma Recovery CIC and is with our approved external clinical supervisors.

You will attend regular online team meetings, CPD sessions, and training days (some training days are in person). You will have excellent communication skills and knowledge of the links between past trauma and current behavioral presentations. Working hours are set and will be negotiated prior to the role commencing; however, all team members are required to work Tuesday mornings to attend meetings, clinical supervision, and CPD, and to work at least one late shift (Wednesday or Thursday 3pm until 8pm).
