Counsellor

Join a supportive team doing the mahi that makes a difference to tauira (students) lives. MIT is at the forefront of changing lives with tertiary education and a strong vision of getting people into great jobs. One of our core values is Manaakitanga; we bring manaaki to everything we do at MIT. As part of a small close-knit tima (team), located between Otara and MIT Manukau, our centre provides wellness services to our students. Our friendly multi-disciplinary team engages with our tauira (students) through the provision of accessible services. We are passionate about ensuring our tauira are supported in their health and well-being.

Responsibilities

• Providing counselling services to tauira in an appropriate and culturally safe way.
• Referring and liaising with other health agencies and community services.
• Assisting MIT staff to identify and manage the needs of at-risk tauira.
• Assisting with staff development and training in areas of expertise.
• Working collaboratively and positively within the Student Experience and Success team.
• Promoting collaborative working relationships with academic departments and Student Support Services.

The successful applicant/s will need to be an experienced Counsellor or Psychotherapist with full membership to NZAC, NZCCA, or NZAP, or a graduate with Provisional Membership for the fixed-term role. Ideally, the successful candidates will bring a minimum of a Bachelor's qualification in counselling or psychotherapy with the ability to work independently while also contributing to the wider team. As well as offering outstanding campus services and courses to our students, we offer our employees access to reduced fees for under-fives at MIT's Children's Education Centre, professional development days, discounts for health insurance, banking, and retail services. Our employees' well-being is important; MIT has teamed up with Auckland Council Leisure to provide discounted membership to their gyms in South Auckland. If you are seeking a change and are motivated by a role where the rewards are great, we would love to hear from you.
