Due to growth within the department we have exciting opportunities for flexible and dedicated tutors to join our team. We are a beacon centre for SEG, delivering Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills, Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies and the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have a number of sessional roles available both during the day and on an evening.
In the role of Counselling Lecturer, you’ll work from Pioneer Higher Skills Centre in Dewsbury and our Huddersfield centre. Your focus will be leading on Level 2 and 3 Counselling courses with some delivery in the community.
We are keen to hear from people who have the skills to teach counselling to adult learners. If you are passionate about training counsellors and can engage and inspire adults by bringing counselling to life with enthusiasm, then we would love to hear from you.
If you are a qualified counsellor thinking about stepping in to teaching, we would also welcome your application. We are committed to supporting new tutors to learn and develop.
You’ll need to be a practising counsellor with a Therapeutic counselling qualification at level 4 or above and ideally have a L5 teaching qualification and demonstrable experience.

You will be expected to demonstrate our College values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role.
Due to the nature of our work, it’s essential you’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
We believe learning is not just for our students: it’s an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers.
