Social Therapist jobs

About the opportunity

At Spectrum.Life, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, confidential and high-quality mental health support. We are seeking an experienced, fully accredited Counsellor or Psychotherapist to provide welcoming, face-to-face support to employees three days per week.

You will offer a safe, person-centred space for adults experiencing mild to moderate mental health and wellbeing difficulties, using evidence-based, goal-focused short-term interventions. You will also be a trusted bridge to our comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), through which employees can access confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What you will do

· Provide compassionate, confidential on-site counselling and psychotherapy to employees.

· Assess needs, agree collaborative goals and deliver evidence-based short-term interventions for mild to moderate presentations.

· Support concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood, adjustment, bereavement, relationships, workplace pressures and general wellbeing.

· Promote early intervention, resilience and psychological wellbeing through a warm, non-judgemental approach.

· Help employees navigate and access the wider EAP and appropriate onward pathways, ensuring continuity of care.

· Recognise risk, work within scope and follow safeguarding, escalation and referral procedures.

· Use validated standardised clinical and client-reported outcome measures to assess needs, monitor progress, evaluate therapeutic effectiveness and inform collaborative treatment decisions.

· Maintain accurate, secure clinical records and outcome measures using our case management system.

· Engage with clinical supervision, reflective practice, governance and continuous quality improvement.

What you will bring

· Recognised professional qualification in counselling or psychotherapy and full accreditation with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).

· At least two years of clinical experience after achieving full accreditation.

· A proven record of providing talking therapy to adults and evidence-based, short-term interventions.

· Experience delivering measurement-based, outcomes-focused care, integrating standardised measures, client feedback and therapeutic goals to evaluate clinical progress and wellbeing outcomes.

· Experience supporting mild to moderate psychological needs and wider wellbeing concerns.

· Strong assessment, therapeutic planning, risk recognition, confidentiality and ethical practice.

· A compassionate, approachable, collaborative and genuinely client-centred style.

· Confidence practising independently on-site while collaborating with a wider clinical team.

· Experience in workplace mental health or an EAP is desirable, but not essential.
