"Everything under one umbrella"
Termination of all placements will require a minimum of a 2 month notice period.
Conflict of Interest - If you are interested in a placement with Counsellors Together CIC, we ask that before applying with us, you are not in any other Telephone or Online placement - we appreciate you will need a Face to Face placement along side this one and you are able to bring those face to face clients to this Supervision.
If you are successful at expression of interest application stage, interviews will take place on a date to be arranged with adequate notice. Unfortunately we are not in a position to negotiate days and times.
