Together we can change children’s lives. At Place2Be, we believe every child should have easy access to mental health support whenever they need it. We create a safe place in schools where children and young people can open up without pressure or stigma, allowing our highly skilled and diverse counsellors to reach children, young people and their families who need us.
As a qualified therapist/counsellor with at least a year of experience, your main focus as a Place2Be Supervising Counsellor is the assessment and formulation of referrals, supporting and overseeing the work of the Counsellors on Placement, enabling them to deliver interventions across all year groups and achieve the best outcomes for the young people we support. You’ll also deliver some therapeutic work with children, including group/whole class work, while shaping the clinical delivery of services within the school you operate.
As part of a huge community of practitioners across the United Kingdom, you’ll have opportunities to share best practices and develop clinical thinking, knowledge, and learning. You’ll have access to an enormous range of training and development, providing a pathway to develop and grow your career.
For a career with purpose, this is your place.
