Dum-de-dum-de-dum...There I was checking the local Council jobs website looking for a way out of my current financial black hole, when I came across this and couldn't believe my eyes.

Shall I apply and see if I can get an interview?

This post is part of the city partnership working to reduce unplanned early conceptions for young women under 19 and to improve the EET (Education, Employment and Training) and health outcomes for young parents.
The post holder will deliver high quality packages of psychological interventions to young women who will have accessed BPAS (British Pregnancy Advisory Service) for a termination. The post holder will assist in building psychological and emotional resilience ["Be strong and terminate. Because your worth it! Don't worry about the child!"] amongst the young women, to ensure positive and healthy relationships with partners, reduce the likelihood of second conception [Yes, I hear abortion can do that!], improve self esteem, improve aspirations for themselves and engagement in positive activities/with other services where appropriate.
The post holder will have an accredited professional qualification in: counselling, psychology, mental health nursing, occupational therapy or psychotherapy and a working knowledge and experience of specific therapeutic approaches and techniques (especially CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused models) when working with young people under 19.
The post holder will be supervised and employed by the IYSS within Brighton and Hove Children and Young People’s Trust and managed by BPAS. BPAS is a national pro-abortion organisation and the post holder will be expected to work within this ethos. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and is subject to a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure check. More information on CRB Checks [Nope, you don't need a CRB check to help kill the unborn!].
Gender: Male
Ethnic Origin: White British/European
Sexuality: Oh good grief, do I have to say? Oh alright, if you must...No, sod it, its none of your business and what's more I don't want to get this job to fill some outrageous quota.
Religion: ROMAN CATHOLIC!!
Where's my lawyer?! Oh I don't have one! Do you see the problem? I would be denied the job because of my religion, which is discrimination and that would be in breach of the Equality Act, because there is no reason why I shouldn't be a counsellor for 'pre-' and 'post-' abortive women. I'd just counsel them according to my conscience and that would be what would stop me from getting the job.
Anyway, regardless of the obvious legal quagmire, and the fact I'd never want to work in an abortion clinic, let's cut to the chase...
The Council is advertising to pay, from the local Brighton and Hove citizens' Council Tax, for a post in which you offer 'pre-' and 'post-' abortive counselling on behalf of a PRO-ABORTION PREGNANCY ADVICE SERVICE, FULL-TIME, IN AN ABORTION CLINIC! WHAT IS MORE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAYING THAT PERSON UP TO £28K A YEAR!
"Hello, it that The Evening Argus?"
