Location: This post is based at Children North East, 4 Graingerville North, NE4 6UJ.
Contract Type: Student Placement
The Counselling Service at Young People’s Services works with 9-18 year olds in the Newcastle and Gateshead area. We have some work in Northumberland and Sunderland, though these are often more complex clients. A student coming to work with us would usually be based in our Newcastle or Gateshead offices where there will be other staff around to support you.
You are applying for a placement to do direct therapeutic work with children and young people. Occasionally their families or carers may be involved. We believe in client choice and autonomy and will always put the child’s needs first. We would prefer applications from people who have prior experience working with children and young people and have an interest in staying in this field. Some knowledge of more creative ways of engaging young people and possibly play work would be an advantage too.
We are seeking people who can commit to working with clients in the after school hours- usually 3-7pm or on Saturdays. We advise all people seeking client hours that you are unlikely to complete all of your hours within an academic year while working with us and should be looking for a second placement.
