We’re excited to announce two new opportunities to join Sahir’s growing team. As the Liverpool City Region’s longest-running LGBTQ+ and HIV charity, we’re proud to offer services that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and rooted in community.
We’re now looking for two qualified counsellors to help us expand access to mental health support for LGBTQ+ people and those living with or affected by HIV.
🔹 The Roles
We’re recruiting for two part-time positions:
-
0.6 FTE Counsellor – 21 hours per week
-
0.4 FTE Counsellor – 14 hours per week
Salary: £28,000 pro rata
These are impactful frontline roles, offering short-term, one-to-one counselling as part of our wider wellbeing and support services. You’ll work independently and within a supportive team, with access to regular supervision, reflective practice and development opportunities.
🌈 Who We’re Looking For
We want to hear from qualified, passionate counsellors who are:
-
Registered with BACP or UKCP (or eligible for registration)
-
Experienced in delivering short-term interventions
-
Committed to inclusive, culturally sensitive counselling
-
Ready to support clients with issues around identity, trauma, stigma, and low mental wellbeing
We especially welcome applications from people with lived experience, and from those often underrepresented in the charity sector – including LGBTQ+ people, people of colour, people living with HIV, and disabled or neurodivergent applicants.
💬 What You’ll Bring
You’ll bring warmth, empathy and a collaborative approach – someone who shares our commitment to reducing health inequalities and making counselling accessible to those who need it most.
You’ll be confident managing a caseload, adapting to different therapeutic needs, and working as part of a team that values growth, community, and social justice.
