About the Role

We are seeking experienced Mental Health Counsellors (Contractors) to deliver counselling services across:

  • Provide one-on-one counselling sessions
  • Support clients with mental health, trauma, stress, and behavioural challenges
  • Develop structured, goal-focused therapeutic strategies
  • Maintain accurate progress notes, reports, and incident documentation
  • Work collaboratively with families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams
  • Identify risks and follow appropriate reporting and safeguarding processes
  • Support emotional wellbeing, resilience, and independence

Minimum Qualifications (Required to Apply)

    Experienced counsellors who can work independently
    Professionals confident managing complex mental health clients

    Why This Role Stands Out

    NDCS operates with strict professional and compliance standards. We focus on building a reliable, high-performing contractor network rather than filling roles quickly.
