Uniting Counselling & Mediation (UCM) Sydney is seeking a Counselling Coordinator to provide clinical leadership, guidance, and therapy across our community-based counselling services.

This senior position offers a blend of clinical practice, team supervision, and leadership responsibilities. You'll play a key role in supporting complex decision-making—particularly in areas like domestic and family violence, trauma, and post-separation work.

  • Conduct child consultations within child-inclusive practice frameworks.
  • Offer mentorship and operational support to new and existing team members.
  • Collaborate in SOS (Supervision of Supervision) meetings, training, and clinical reflection spaces.
  • Step up as acting manager during periods of leave.

About you

  • A postgraduate qualification in Psychology, Social Work, or a related field.
  • Extensive experience in counselling, with a strong background in trauma and domestic/family violence.
  • Previous leadership experience – whether through formal team leadership, clinical supervision, or acting-up in a senior role.
  • Eligibility to provide clinical supervision.
  • A warm, humble, and collaborative approach – you're someone who lifts others and builds trust in the team.
  • Experience navigating and collaborating across multiple systems (e.g., legal, health, child protection).

Even Better

  • Experience in couples therapy, post-separation counselling, or family dispute resolution.
  • Experience working with fathers and men navigating parenting or separation.
  • Familiarity with court-ordered programs and child-inclusive frameworks.

  • Salary packaging benefits to increase your take-home pay.
  • Wellbeing programs to support your health and work-life balance.
  • Learning and development opportunities to grow your career.
