Job Title: Counselling Coordinator
Contract: Contract/Temp

The Mission of Te Whare Awhina / Nelson Women’s Centre is: Empowering women to be safe, resourceful, to value themselves and to reach their potential.

A key focus for the Centre’s counselling service is reducing barriers to counselling for women who may have low incomes. We are committed to high quality counselling practice.

The Women’s Centre is curently looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated qualified counsellor to join our existing team of volunteer counsellors. The Counselling Coordinator role is an important part of our counselling team – mentoring student counsellors and leading development of our counselling service.

A flexible, friendly, and professional “can-do” attitude will be key to working effectively with clients, colleagues and our community.

This role is for four paid hours a week (plus some volunteer counselling hours are required) on a fixed-term contract for 12 months. Please email coordinator@nelsonwc.org.nz for a job description.
