At HELP, you’ll be part of an organisation with a proud history, a strong commitment to social change, and a team deeply dedicated to making a difference every day.

It will involve a hybrid style of working, one half day in the office (Mondays) for the Team meeting and the rest from home, either on the phones or going to a call-out. This role is perfect for someone with a private Counselling practice, or contract work that wants to expand their skills and supplement their income. While experience in trauma counselling and recovery is not essential – it will give your application a definite advantage.

A member of (Or working towards) registration with a NZ professional body (e.g. NZAC, NZCCA, NZAP, PBANZ) Full clean current driver’s license and a legal vehicle available for work use.
