Can I get a job with my bachelor's degree, maybe as a counselor or in a related field in New Zealand for a Postgraduate?
It depends. Your bachelor's degree and 9 years of work experience are valuable, but to work as a professional counselor in New Zealand, you typically need a Bachelor of Counselling (Level 7) or higher, which includes supervised practice and specific coursework.
If your degree is in a related field, you may be able to pursue a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies as a pathway. Full professional counseling roles usually require registration with the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC), which has its own qualification standards.
For roles related to counseling (like community support worker), your current qualifications and experience may be considered, but requirements vary by employer. For next steps and tailored options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
