Become a Clinical Supervisor
Volunteer Role Description
Benefits
-
Work on cutting-edge global mental health.
-
Fully remote with flexible hours.
-
Potential to become full-time and paid at market rate if results are strong.
Context
We plan to teach talented psychology graduates how to empower behaviour change and treat mental health problems globally. Given that lay local community members can effectively deliver therapies, we are piloting this with volunteers. If it works, we will be able to successfully treat mental health problems like anxiety or depression roughly 10x cheaper than the next most cost-effective approach. We are looking for experienced practitioners to help train and supervise these graduates.

Accreditation as a practising psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist.

Willing to commit to at least one hour per week.

Happy to supervise groups of ~5 and sign off on Supervised Clinical Hours.
Desirable

Experience in delivering workshops or training.
-
Experience working with clients from low-middle-income countries.
-
Previous research publications on psychotherapy/counselling, with client groups in low-middle income countries, or in relevant areas.
Responsibilities
-
Regular group supervision with lay counsellors and signing off their supervised hours.
-
Appraise existing training materials for lay counsellors (or design your own!).
-
Advise management on how best to handle emergencies.
-
Minimum time commitment: one hour per week.
Next Steps

Send us your CV.
-
If we think you’re a good fit, we’ll contact you for an initial meeting.
-
If it goes well, we’ll arrange a trial group supervision.

Given the positive feedback from supervisees from the trial group supervision, we’re happy to work with you indefinitely as long as supervisee feedback is excellent.
