Current Vacancies - March 2010
Counsellors
We are currently seeking adults who
are keen to help children and young people as a professional telephone
counsellor and are willing and able to work 15 hours each week and
successfully complete our 350 hour training programme.
Our Counsellors are paid, closely supervised and extensively trained
in all aspects of telephone counselling. This is a great opportunity
to get excellent, paid training and supervised experience in counselling
children
and young people.
A qualification in the caring professions is an advantage but not
as important as the willingness to:
-
provide
a high standard of telephone counselling to
children and young people;
-
engage in a process
of rigorous professional training,
development and supervision;
-
work rostered shifts,
including some on weekends and until midnight.
