“…Its aims were to gain a snapshot sample of advertisements at one point in time. Single point-in-time research is a common method for conducting advertisement-based research (Davies & Butler, 2022;Sinclaire et al, 2022). This approach did not require ethical approval as the information was publicly available, and there was no foreseeable human risk.…”

“…SEEK (https://www.seek.com.au/) was chosen as the source of data, partly due to its ability to customise the search criteria to the research requirements. SEEK is the most popular and well-established online employment marketplace search engine in Australia and has been used as a data source in several employment-related studies (Davies & Butler, 2022;McArthur et al, 2017;Sinclaire et al, 2022). Similarly designed research studies into vacancy advertisements have relied solely on SEEK given its market dominance and advanced search features (McArthur et al, 2017;Sinclaire et al, 2022).…”

Research on counsellors in Australia has tended towards workforce surveys that profile association members, and thus, tend to reflect the interests and priorities of counsellors and the counselling profession. However, little is known about what the employment context offers and expects of counsellor positions. This exploratory point-in-time study undertook a content analysis of counsellor job advertisements and categorised the findings into three main areas: conditions, description of the role, and selection criteria. The findings suggest that for counselling roles, employers are less concerned about whether applicants have had specialised counselling training, but that they have tertiary qualifications in cognate disciplines and can undertake a wider range of tasks in addition to providing counselling. Several role requirements specified by employers are not mentioned in contemporary Australian counselling training standards, though most are mentioned in the profession’s scope of practice documents. This research provides counselling educators, counselling students, and counsellor jobseekers data on possible trends of contemporary employment patterns appearing in advertised counsellor positions.

International social work associations lack sufficient guidance to address tensions within social work education, employment, and registration about individuals with criminal convictions. This tension arises from the need to uphold social work principles of human rights and social justice while minimizing the risk of harm to clients. Limited research exists on how social workers with criminal convictions navigate the profession. Until 2019, when data were collected for this study, there was no information on the topic in Aotearoa, New Zealand.This article reports on an exploratory qualitative study of individuals navigating the social work profession with a criminal history. We aimed to determine whether participants faced discrimination and whether this impacted their careers. An interpretative phenomenological analysis was applied to data collected in 2019 through 11 semi-structured interviews with registered and nonregistered social workers with one or more criminal convictions.Participants’ experiences highlighted an overarching theme of once a criminal, always a criminal, showcasing discrimination experienced by social workers with criminal convictions when pursuing a social work career. This overarching theme was underpinned by four predominant subthemes relating to stigma and oppression.Participants’ experiences add to evidence that some practices within social work clash with the profession’s underpinning principles. The authors argue that social work associations, registration bodies, educators, and employers should understand the value people with lived experiences of the criminal legal system can bring to the profession and facilitate supportive access to social work careers as they are representative of populations served by the profession.
