Placement Map
Please ensure you only apply for one vacancy. This is your location preference, which can be changed later.
* Place2Be provides emotional and therapeutic support to children and young people aged 4-18 in partner schools. As an organization that follows the BACP ethical framework, our counsellors are dedicated to improving mental health and well-being.
* We offer regular supervision, tailored training workshops, and a well-recognized clinical placement.
* We provide a comprehensive induction program, and clinical supervision is conducted at the end of each day.
* You need to be available for at least one half-day per week to work therapeutically with up to three children, offering one-to-one counselling.
* Placements are during term time only, lasting one academic year, with opportunities to extend beyond that.
* You can attend up to six optional workshops throughout the year, recognized as CPD time.
* Sessions with children count as clinical hours towards professional accreditation and are recognized by BACP and UKCP.
* A placement can be a stepping stone into a career with Place2Be; over two-thirds of our clinical staff were once placement counsellors.
* We have positions available in primary and secondary schools nationwide.
Counting your hours
All clinical hours gained can be used towards accreditation with bodies like BACP and UKCP. If you need hours for your course, check with your tutor whether child hours are accepted. If not, you can consider a second placement with us for experience with children and young people.
Diversity and Inclusion
Place2Be is committed to equal opportunities and encourages applications from all community sections. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds. We are also keen to attract male candidates to reflect community diversity. Successful applicants will be asked to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure from DBS/PVG.
