We are looking for a well-organised and versatile counsellor to deliver individual or group counselling sessions for children, young people and families in the Neath Port Talbot area. The counsellor will need to be flexible in their availability and be mostly delivering sessions after school hours, evenings and/or Saturdays at the YMCA, which is based in the heart of the community in Neath or in other community venues as required, depending on the needs of the service. The counsellor will be representing the Platfform for Families NPT service and will therefore need to behave in a professional and ethical way and will need to be able to work independently or as part of a team as required.
We work with people experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of wellbeing in the places that they live. Through our projects, we work with thousands of people each year.
We believe that long-lasting wellbeing comes about by understanding how lives can be shaped by traumatic experiences, identifying people’s strengths and focussing on healing. We know we can’t ‘fix’ people, but we can walk alongside people and help where we can on their journey.
We try hard to make Platfform a great place to work, we live our values and mission in everything that we do.
