Job Description

Counselling Lecturer

Temporary

Location: Yorkshire and the Humber

Are you an experienced counselling professional looking to pass your knowledge on to the next generation of practitioners?

About the Role

An education provider is looking to appoint a Counselling Lecturer to deliver high-quality teaching across its counselling provision. You'll plan and deliver engaging sessions, create learning resources and assess learner progress, supporting students to develop the knowledge, skills and professional understanding they need to progress into further study or practice.

If you're new to teaching, that's not a barrier. Experienced practitioners are supported to work towards a recognised teaching qualification while they work.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging lessons across a range of counselling programmes.
  • Teaching counselling theory alongside the practical skills that underpin it.
  • Assessing learner progress and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Maintaining accurate records of attendance, progress and achievement.
  • Contributing to curriculum development and course review.
  • Supporting learners with their progression into further study or employment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A relevant counselling qualification
  • Experience of counselling practice
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to engage and motivate learners
  • A teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous teaching, assessing or training experience
  • Experience within the education sector

Inspire the Next Generation of Practitioners

If you're ready to bring your counselling experience into the classroom, we'd love to hear from you.
