Mental Health Co-ordinator

About us

UCL’s Student Counselling Services (SCS) are part of Student Support and Wellbeing Services (SSWS). SSWS provides holistic support for all students at UCL, helping them to stay well and perform at the best of their ability. In SCS we undertake psychological assessments of individual students in order to help them identify and solve their problems, to identify clinically significant disorders as appropriate, and to help students determine and pursue the most appropriate treatment plan. We provide high-quality, time-limited individual cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic counselling, psychiatric support and personal development workshops both face-to-face and online via telephone and video. We liaise with and refer to other professionals within and outside SCS as appropriate.

About the role

The postholder will be required to deliver non-therapeutic support services aimed at enabling study, specifically for students with emotional, psychological and mental health difficulties at UCL. They will provide assistance to the daily duty practitioner by making follow up contact with students registering with SCS and presenting with risk, attend SSWS safeguarding meetings, and provide information and advice to students with wellbeing needs registering with SCS. In doing so they’ll need to liaise across the SSWS team and with Disability, Mental Health and Neurodiversity Support Services in particular.
