NON CYC VACANCY
York Mind have operated a successful adult counselling service for over 30 years. Over this time, we have developed our offer from solely supporting adults, to providing young people’s counselling and adult coaching. We have progressed to providing counselling in local colleges.
Counselling is delivered by both employed and volunteer counsellors. We also support student placements.
Following an operational review, we are now looking to recruit an experienced manager to lead on our Adult Counselling offer and ensure its sustainability and growth.
You will work closely with employed and volunteer counsellors and other staff to ensure a high-quality service is delivered. You will have overall responsibility for the service and will work collaboratively with other service managers, as an integral part of the York Mind Managers Team.
