Volunteer – Counselling/Psychotherapy

Once we are fully established in our new premises we will need experienced clinical volunteers to be involved in individual psychotherapeutic work and possibly group work.  

We are looking for experienced child and adolescent psychotherapists (at least five years post qualification) who would be interested in doing long-term work (minimum 2 years) with young asylum seekers and refugees. We are also looking for child and adolescent mental health specialists, in particular child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists, who would be interested in preparing reports for the asylum jurisdiction and the High Court.

We already run fortnightly clinical supervision groups for workers and plan to develop a separate group focusing on report writing.
