Job Introduction

Job Introduction

Everyone’s Turning Point is unique. It’s the moment when they realise they’ve made a small, but important, step forward. Very often, that small step is the start of something bigger. But only when the right support, advice and services are in place. That’s where you come in.

Our Business-to-Business counselling and CBT service delivers a high quality telephone, video-based, service to support those requesting support.

The counselling & CBT service comes from Turning Point’s commitment to encouraging new ideas. We do this by placing individuals at the heart of the development of our support. As a leading social enterprise and backed by Turning Point’s experience over 60 years we are driven by the need to see the potential of people and empower them to make the changes needed to live life well.

We are now looking for Counsellors to join our fast-growing team.

It is a part-time remote role 22.5 hours per week – Wednesday – Friday.

You will have experience of facilitating group sessions (emotional support/reflective practice) and be able to develop good therapeutic relationships with clients.

What Benefits Will I Receive?
