Teaching will be delivered primarily face-to-face at our Stratford Campus, with some online delivery as required.

You will be able to demonstrate significant experience of counselling/integrative counselling and coaching practice, alongside experience of teaching and/or training in higher education or a comparable professional context. Experience of clinical supervision, research supervision, module leadership, and curriculum development is highly desirable, as is a strong commitment to scholarly activity and professional development.
You will bring excellent communication, organisational, and interpersonal skills, and a clear commitment to inclusive, ethical, and reflective practice. An understanding of, and commitment to, supporting diverse student cohorts and working flexibly (including occasional evenings and Saturdays) is essential.
