Description
Tacoma Community College (TCC) seeks two full-time tenure-track counselors to provide mental health counseling and developmental support to students through a comprehensive, student-centered counseling approach. Both counselors will conduct individual wellness, mental health, career, and group counseling services. However, one position will have a Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) specialization that promotes BIPOC mental health and wellness initiatives. Additional functions for both positions will include helping students choose a career pathway, providing case management, and conducting crisis interventions to address student related health and well-being concerns while navigating college systems. Each counselor will also develop and present workshops to various classes and groups on campus; provide consultations to employees; teach classes within the Human Development curriculum; and serve on various committees and taskforces across campus.
Similar to other counselors within the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges system (SBCTC), TCC counselors fall under a unique category of full-time faculty who work under the faculty contract while also functioning as members of a department outside of Academic Affairs who provide specialized care for students. The ideal candidate will be able to meet the needs of this dual role.
As a college representative, the individual will work closely with campus and community agencies that provide additional academic and personal support services.
This position reports to the Dean of Retention and Student Success.
