• Collaborate in SOS (Supervision of Supervision) meetings, training, and clinical reflection spaces.
• Step up as acting manager during periods of leave.

About you

• Extensive experience in counselling, with a strong background in trauma and domestic/family violence.
• Previous leadership experience – whether through formal team leadership, clinical supervision, or acting-up in a senior role.
• Eligibility to provide clinical supervision.
• A warm, humble, and collaborative approach – you’re someone who lifts others and builds trust in the team.
• Experience navigating and collaborating across multiple systems (e.g., legal, health, child protection).
