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

A Willingness to Work with Difference

At OTR, whatever your role or professional background, you will be expected to work in a way that is anti-oppressive and inclusive. A key focus for OTR is to develop an organisation that is inclusive for all but we do not claim to be experts in this. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement in these areas and invite you to join us on this journey. 

OTR recognises the benefits to individual practice and organisational credibility of having a diverse community of staff and volunteers and to this end is continually working towards building and maintaining an environment which values and pursues diversity accordingly. 

We recognise that tackling systemic inequality, prejudice, racism and oppressive practice requires each of us to actively engage, self-examine and make changes where necessary, in order to improve access and equitable experience for all in society and all of those who come through our doors at OTR.
