Volunteer Counsellor

We are currently recruiting a Volunteer Counsellor to join our Governance Team in their safeguarding and support of our Clinic. Please be aware a 2-6pm Saturday in person commitment is required. 

The Trans Legal Clinic is the first trans-led specialist gender identity legal practice in the UK. At its core, the Trans Legal Clinic is a human rights practice because Trans+ rights are human rights and without the influence of trans+ and non-binary people many of the human rights which are enjoyed by our cisgendered counterparts would cease to exist as we know them today. The mission of the Trans Legal Clinic is simple; we provide free and accessible legal help to transgender and non-binary people in need. Our overarching vision is a society where all people have access to the legal resources required for gender self-determination and where gender diversity is not just accepted but embraced, with trans+ people equipped with the necessary legal tools to navigate the world in their affirmed gender.

We are searching for a counsellor who is able to provide support to both our clients and our internal team of volunteers. They must be able to provide vital mental health support to those navigating vulnerable situations, therefore we are searching for a friendly and experienced counsellor to join our team. They will help our clients and staff in clinic proceedings where conversations may take an emotional toll, and help the team through regular meetings with our volunteers.
