Why do a placement with us?

We're looking for professional, enthusiastic, and committed individuals, ideally with a minimum of one year's face-to-face experience working with clients in a field such as mental health, domestic violence, or substance abuse, although we will consider exceptions where an individual feels they have gained experience and understanding of the impact on working with clients who have experiences sexual abuse or sexual violence. Candidates should also have an understanding of some of the issues related to rape and how this can impact an individual. Ideally, you will also have at least one year's experience of personal therapy and be willing to return to this if requested by your supervisor.

We ask for a commitment of one year post-induction, and ask our counsellors to see 4 clients per week, during a 5-hour block. We also ask that you attend a 1-hour of individual supervision and 1.5-hours group supervision per month, which will be provided by Kinergy (you may need to pay for additional supervision if required by your course). You may also be asked to attend occasional training sessions and workshops - details will be provided in advance. There is no lone working involved, and students will not be asked to work weekends.

We also ask that our staff be committed to equal opportunities.
