About the Role
We are looking to recruit a qualified Group Therapist on a part-time basis who has significant training and clinical experience delivering psychotherapeutic groups, preferably in a higher education setting. The main task of the role will be to co-ordinate, oversee and deliver a specialist group therapy service (involving offering two slow open groups on Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the academic year) which is responsive to the needs of students accessing the Advice and Counselling Service and which meets recognised professional standards for ethics and practice in group analytic work. A core part of the role will be to provide skilled and effective risk management within service guidelines as well as to provide informal support / supervision for individual therapists in the team who offer short, focused support groups to Queen Mary students.
About You
Applicants must have an appropriate qualification in Group Analytic Psychotherapy or Group Analysis (or equivalent) and significant experience of providing psychoanalytic group therapy within an institutional/HE setting. Familiarity with working with clients from diverse backgrounds and social groups, and preferably with experience of working with young adults is essential. As the only group therapist in the team, you will provide regular updates on your work to your line manager and present to the team in clinical meetings. You will need to be comfortable managing risk and following university service protocols in this regard with due attention to appropriate ethical and boundary concerns.
About the Department
The Advice and Counselling Service is a multidisciplinary student support service offering counselling, mental health and psychological support, psychiatry clinics, sexual assault and harassment advice, welfare advice and immigration advice.
