Summary
Counselling is a growing and highly valued industry, with an increasing need for skilled, reflective practitioners who can support wellbeing across a range of settings. South Staffordshire College has an excellent reputation for delivering high quality counselling qualifications that enable learners to progress confidently into the profession and further study.
We are now seeking a dynamic and committed individual to join our team and contribute to the delivery of counselling programmes at Levels 2, 3 and 4.
This role involves teaching and assessing counselling qualifications at Levels 2, 3 and 4, inspiring learners from diverse backgrounds and supporting the development of professional skills, values and reflective practice. You will contribute to the growth of an ambitious counselling provision and work collaboratively to maintain high standards of teaching, learning and assessment.
The ideal candidate will have qualifications and experience in counselling, hold a relevant teaching qualification (or a willingness to work towards one), and demonstrate a strong commitment to learner progression, inclusive practice and professional standards. You will bring energy, empathy and enthusiasm to the classroom.
In return, SSC offers the opportunity to join a well regarded counselling provision with clear progression routes into a growing industry, work within a supportive and forward thinking team, make a meaningful impact on learners’ futures, and access ongoing professional development.
If you are enthusiastic about counselling education and want to support learners on their journey into this rewarding profession, we would love to hear from you.

What you can expect from us - We care about your wellbeing so have a number of activities all year that provide support. However, time off is also important. We have a generous holiday scheme, the usual Bank Holidays, an additional 5 days at Christmas and 2 ‘ME’ days (where you can have a day off work and do whatever makes you happy) as well as an additional day on campus spent on wellbeing.
We have a range of benefits available to all staff including paid time off for emergencies (designed to support carers) and all our policies are enhanced further than statutory requirements. The College also contributes to your pension at a minimum of 20.9% (we contribute more for people in the Local Government Pension Scheme).
South Staffordshire College is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community.
We are committed to PREVENT and safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and expect all staff to share this commitment.
This position is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure with child and barred list check.
