About the role

The counselling role will be joining Galop’s free-at-point-of-use counselling service, providing a range of therapeutic support for LGBT survivors of abuse and violence. The service works to address the barriers to counselling that some LGBT people experience and provides a safe, confidential and affirmative service for our clients.

You should have experience working in a counselling setting in the voluntary sector, and have a knowledge of the way the voluntary sector interacts with safeguarding and criminal justice frameworks. We will support you to use your developed empathy and insight to provide effective therapeutic interventions with LGBT individuals of all ages.

You will join a developing team with a commitment to respecting the strengths and coping strategies of victims and survivors of abuse, alongside identifying and mitigating needs and risks (including those that are internal, external, and relational).

You will carry a caseload of up to 10 clients, which reflects the complex emotional and psycho-social needs of our client group. To support you in your work we will provide you with clinical supervision, line management, and the infrastructure necessary to support contained contracted counselling sessions.

To ensure an accessible service you will be required to work some evenings/weekends dependent on client demand.

Location: Galop’s offices are in central London. The Galop therapeutic service will be delivered at Galop’s London office and online and so counsellors can work from the office, remotely or where possible a hybrid.
Hours: 0.6 (FTE): 21 hours including 10 clients per week. There is flexibility in how these 21 hours are worked.
Contract: Permanent
Reports to: Senior Counsellor
Salary: £22,652.93 (37,754.88 FTE) per annum (0.6 FTE, including London Weighting) or £20,125.72 without London Weighting for remote contract
