Lecturer - Psychotherapy and Counselling
0.6 FTE / 21 Hours per week;
The starting salary will be from £22,949.40, pro rata of £38,249.00 per annum (grade 7), depending on qualifications and experience.
During the two academic semesters, the role will be mostly based on site at Marjon across Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Outside of the semesters, the role can be a hybrid role (i.e., partly on site, partly from home).
Who we’re looking for:
We are looking for a Lecturer to join our passionate and committed programme team to teach across all 4 years of our Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling integrated master’s degree: Integrated Master’s in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
We appreciate that excellent lecturers in psychotherapy and counselling come from various backgrounds and bring different experiences to the classroom. Typically, the post holder will be a Registered or Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or equivalent protected register (e.g., National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). They will be an experienced practitioner who has remained up to date with the profession and is currently or recently practicing, and they will value the role of research in psychotherapy and counselling training. They will care about nurturing and supporting the professional training of counsellors so that these counsellors can work safely, ethically, and effectively in meaningful careers.
What you’d be doing:
You’ll have a meaningful and varied role supporting the academic and professional development of counselling students, working alongside a team of passionate and committed lecturers. We teach through a combination of lectures, seminars, and skills work (e.g., ‘triads’). You would lead lectures that reflect your stronger areas of expertise, oversee the delivery of core modules, and work as part of a team to support triads and other skills work and group work. You would also assess student work and be a personal tutor to a group of students. You might conduct research, supervise dissertation students, lead course admissions interviews, and represent the course (e.g., at open days).
You’ll need to enjoy:
•Supporting the development of student counsellors at different stages of the journey
•Supporting students academically as well as pastorally
•Working in a varied role that regularly involves change
•Professional and research strands of psychotherapy and counselling
•Working to your values
Where you’ll work:
In this role, you’ll be based in the Psychotherapy and Counselling team, within the Department of Allied Health and Wellbeing, on our green campus in the north of Plymouth. The department teaches in the newly renovated Health and Wellbeing Hub, following £5.8 million of investment.
current hybrid working policy means you can work from home or on campus, but you will need to maintain strong campus links and be available on-site when needed. During the two main teaching semesters (end of Sept – mid May), you will need to be on site when teaching on a Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday (depending on timetable).
For an informal discussion about the role please email all of Dr Alister McCormick (amccormick@marjon.ac.uk), Dr Anne Bentley (abentley@marjon.ac.uk), and Dr Lucy Cooper (lcooper@marjon.ac.uk). Depending on leave dates, one member of the team will be happy to answer any questions.
Supporting our people:
At Marjon, we are firmly committed to supporting every member of staff who works for us. Our Balance programme of health and wellbeing activities aims to help you to look after your physical health, nutritional health, mental health and social health.
We recognise that our recruitment might bring in staff who are new to higher education and are bringing knowledge and expertise from other fields and practice. We want to ensure that all our academic staff are appropriately qualified to teach in HE and have the confidence to do so; to support this, we offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) to all new teaching staff without an existing teaching qualification. This provides our new staff with an opportunity to develop their understanding and practice of learning, teaching and pedagogic research/research management in higher education, and enables us to maintain our high standards of teaching.
We’re big believers in the importance of work/life balance. Many of our employees work flexibly and they are able to apply for parental leave and time off for dependants. As well as this, Academic staff enjoy 35 days’ holiday, plus Christmas closure days and eight bank holidays. This equates to 45 (full-time equivalent) days.
We are keen to hear from a diverse range of applicants to support our goal to realise every individual’s potential. We are a ‘Disability Confident Employer’: candidates who declare a disability and who demonstrate on their application that they meet the essential criteria will be included on the shortlist.
Closing date: Thursday 04 September 2025 (at 11:59pm)
Interview date: Friday 19 September 2025

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COMMUNICATION WILL BE ELECTRONIC, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT REGULARLY.
If you have any issues with applying online and need additional support including reasonable adjustments with the application process, please contact the People Team on peopleteam@marjon.ac.uk.
It is sometimes necessary to close vacancies before the closing date. If you have not heard from us within 4 weeks of the closing date, please assume that you have not been shortlisted.
