The DHSS&PS has commissioned Contact Youth to provide a comprehensive regional 24/7 helpline with services including clinical assessment, counselling, alternative supports and referral service for the entire population of NI to commence in early 2008. To enable the expansion of this vital regional development for suicide prevention we now invite applications for a range of leadership, counselling and support posts.
Our Telephone counselling team will be the essential lynch pin for all our crucial response services to adults and young people at risk from suicide and self harm as well as family and professionals supporting those at risk from suicide and self harm throughout NI. As a telephone counsellor you will work in shifts to ensure a 24/7 cover, 365 days per year. Although our telephone counselling posts are 35 hours per week there are opportunities to negotiate for part time work if this is your preference. There is also the opportunity to do a combination of telephone work and some face to face work if this is your preference. To work as a telephone counsellor you must have a counselling diploma and a minimum of at least 1 year clinically supervised, face to face counselling experience in a formal setting totaling a minimum of 150 hrs practice OR 1 years clinically supervised experience of working in a similar telephone service providing contracted telephone counselling and telephone counselling assessments. These posts will be based in our Belfast Clinical Centre initially.
APPLICATION PROCESS
CVs will not be accepted. Interviews will be held on 25- 28 February and 5, 6 March 2008.
We welcome multiple applications from counsellors interested in working on a combination of projects or in a variety of posts. Contact Youth Counselling maintains a bank of successful reserve candidates for all our posts to fill emerging vacancies over the ensuing 6 months.
