We are looking for a qualified and experienced supervisor to support our counsellors delivering relationship counselling to couples and individuals.

This part time role is to provide clinical supervision and case management support to counsellors employed by Relate Birmingham and to work as part of the clinical team to maintain high quality, safe, ethical services and develop practice.

You will also work closely with the Centre management to support the delivery and development of viable and sustainable services.

The post includes carrying a small client caseload and supervision with us.

We are offering a hybrid approach to working - with some work at home and some at our Birmingham Centre near Five Ways.

Supervision will be delivered face to face or via webcam.

We expect an element of the hours will be fixed and others will be able to be flexible to meet the requirements and needs of the service and supervisees.

The nature of supervisory responsibilities will require daytime and evening meetings with supervisees and counselling supervision groups.

Liaison and consultation with the Clinical Lead and attendance at Risk Management and team meetings are also required, as well meetings with the National SPC on attending the Supervisor Group.

We will also consider this work being undertaken on a self-employed basis.
