We are excited to be looking for a part-time (3 days a week) Counsellor to join our team.

The Student Counselling Service at The University of Bristol offers 1-1 and group therapy. We are part of a large system of support services within the Education and Student Success division.

The post is for a permanent and year-round contract. The working pattern is:

Tues 10.30am - 6.30pm

Weds 9am-5pm

Thurs 12pm-8pm

(In person/on-site role)

What will you be doing?

Primarily using a One at a Time (OAAT), you would be supporting students with a broad range of presenting issues. 80% of a Counsellors weekly appointments are OAAT sessions and 20% are offered as 6-session blocks. There are also opportunities to facilitate therapeutic groups. Counselling is offered in person, at the University Campus.

You are passionate about supporting a diverse range of university students! This role is a great mix of working autonomously within a supportive team structure.

The Student Counselling Service is working hard to create a welcoming and exciting place to work, meeting the demographic of the student population and offering more diverse and inclusive therapeutic support. As a team we are genuinely passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion; it forms a key thread through all the work we do. We want everyone that joins to be a part of this and to contribute to the friendly and fun community we are creating.

We are looking for qualified counsellors with significant therapeutic experience. This post requires BACP accreditation (or equivalent). There is support if you are working towards accreditation - which would need to be completed within your first year in post.

In line with the wider University strategy, we are committed to fostering equality, diversity and inclusion, and anti-racism. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who come from, or have significant experience of working with Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, gender non-conforming communities and/or speak a global majority language (in addition to English). We are currently under-represented in these areas, although all appointments will be made on merit.
