About the role
We are offering an opportunity for volunteer trainee counsellors to gain face to face clinical experience of working therapeutically with young people (aged 11-18 years) as part of their counselling training.
Candidates will work with 2 or 3 students a week on a short term basis of 6-12 sessions, although this may be extended where needed. This is a voluntary, term time only placement.
Applications are welcomed from any therapeutic model, and the successful candidate(s) must be registered with the BACP or equivalent, working in accordance with their Ethical Framework. Further training will be provided regarding child protection and safeguarding, relevant school systems, confidentiality, GDPR and note taking.
Placement counsellors will be supported by the school’s deputy safeguarding lead (who is also a trained counsellor) and our Safeguarding and Wellbeing Officer, through regular meetings to discuss any concerns or difficulties you may have. We will support your clinical supervision by contributing towards the cost of your supervision.
The Trust is committed to safeguarding children and young people. All post holders are subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
The closing date for application is 9am Monday 6th January 2025.
