This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified and passionate counsellor to join a trauma-informed, inclusive charity known for its community focus.

You will provide short-term counselling to LGBTQ+ adults and people living with or affected by HIV. Your approach will be empowerment-based, culturally sensitive, and in line with BACP standards.

You will work both independently and as part of our wider services team. We will support your development through regular supervision, reflective practice, and relevant training opportunities.

We welcome and encourage applications from people with lived experience, and from communities who are often underrepresented in the charity sector. We’re especially keen to hear from applicants who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or are living with HIV. However, all applications will be considered fairly, and appointment will be based on merit.
