Want to work for a nationally recognised service that plays a critical role in protecting children and young people?
Kids Helpline is looking for Graduates in Psychology, Social Work or Counselling to start their career as a Moderator in our My Circle online peer to peer support program.
Online moderated peer to peer support is the new frontier for mental health because it responds to the changing habits of teens who are increasingly using social media to connect. My Circle is a free, anonymous and private social networking space to support groups of young people aged 13-25 years who are experiencing similar problems, under the guidance of a qualified Moderator.
Kids Helpline is Australia's only free and confidential, 24/7 online and phone counselling service for young people aged 5-25. Since 1991, Australia’s kids and young people have been turning to our professional, specialised counsellors, no matter who they are, where they live or what they want to talk about. Kids Helpline is a service of yourtown.
These roles are an exciting opportunity to get involved in supporting young people through digital modalities and provide a pathway to transition into a Kids Helpline Counsellor position.
As a Moderator, you will moderate and administer member activity on the My Circle platform. Full time and part time positions are available, working a set roster between 8am to 2am, 7 days per week.
Your day to day may involve:
This intake of My Circle Moderators will commence on 30 June 2022, and you must be available for full time training 30 June – 6 July 2022 (business hours).
