Job Description

About Us

The King's community is dedicated to the service of society.

King's Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas:

educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world.

Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.


The Counselling & Mental Health Support (CMHS) Service at King's is a multi-disciplinary team comprising psychodynamic counsellors, group analysts, counselling psychologists, mental health advisors, clinical assessors and a consultant psychiatrist.


The CMHS team work within professional Codes of Practice relating to confidentiality, the Mental Health Act and Fitness to Practice issues in all aspects of our clinical work.

These standards recognise the professional codes of Practice and Ethics of External Professional Bodies such as the BAPC, BPC, BPS, UKCP, IGA.

About the Role


The role is for Group Therapist or Group Analyst with an understanding of the needs of a diverse student population.

You will be working closely with colleagues in CMHS to ensure the appropriate referral of cases and an effective multi-disciplinary approach to all aspects of clinical work.

Referrals to the college psychiatrist and/or external services, where appropriate, will also be part of your post-assessment tasks as well as presentation of more complex cases at the weekly team meetings.

As well as internal support from your colleagues and line manager, King's will support you with access to regular supervision with an external supervisor.


Counselling & Mental Health Support at King's, as part of Student Services, aims to help support students holistically, and so where appropriate, the role will include other tasks; for example, providing students with letters supporting their request for consideration of Mitigating Circumstances in their academic submissions, advising them on other avenues of support available to them at King's, and writing to their GP.

This post will be offered on an indefinite contract.

Key responsibilities

  • To provide Group Therapy and individual counselling sessions, or group sessions/workshops, in accordance with the assessment recommendations.
  • To participate in and contribute to departmental programmes designed to meet the wider aims of the institution and to participate in development and training workshops for King's staff.
  • To participate in weekly clinical case discussion and collective decision making.
  • Within the bounds of confidentiality, to liaise as appropriate with academic and nonacademic staff regarding individual students and to liaise as appropriate with external professionals and institutions for example, GPs, psychiatric or other mental health services, specialist services (e.g. Eating Disorder Clinics).
  • To support students with mitigating circumstances requests and accessing other means of support across King's.
  • The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post._
