About The Role
We are currently recruiting for August 2024. Please review the Placements Map before applying, which shows all Place2Be Partner schools. Ensure you can travel to one or more schools from this map. We will try to accommodate your preferences.
Counsellors on Placement provide emotional and therapeutic support to children and young people aged 4-18 in Place2Be partner schools. As an organization that adheres to the BACP ethical framework, our counsellors are dedicated to improving mental health and well-being.
* Place2Be offers high-level support through supervision, training workshops, and a well-recognized clinical placement.
* We provide a comprehensive induction and daily clinical supervision.
* You need to be available for at least one day per week to offer one-to-one counselling to up to three children.
* Placements are term-time only for one academic year, with opportunities to extend.
* You can attend up to six optional workshops recognized as CPD.
* Sessions with children count as clinical hours towards professional accreditation, recognized by BACP and UKCP.
* Many of our clinical staff started as Counsellors on Placement.
* Positions are available in primary and secondary schools nationwide.
Counting your hours
All clinical hours can contribute towards accreditation with bodies like BACP and UKCP. Check with your course tutor if child hours are accepted for your course. If not, you may apply as a second placement.
Diversity and Inclusion
We are committed to equal opportunities and encourage applications from all backgrounds, especially Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic groups. We are particularly interested in attracting male candidates to reflect community diversity. Successful applicants will undergo an Enhanced Disclosure from the DBS/PVG.
Training availability
If offered a placement, you must attend two mandatory trainings:
* Safeguarding Induction (1 day): 28th September, 27th October
* Placement Introductory Workshop (2 days): 7-8 October, 2-3 December, 13-14 January, 9-10 March
About You
You will be a fully qualified Counsellor, Therapist, or Clinical Psychologist, or studying towards such qualifications at the following levels:
* Diploma in Counselling (Level 4 or above), or a full academic year Certificate Course in Counselling.
* Degree, MSc, or MA in Counselling, Counselling Psychology, or Psychotherapy, with relevant experience if in your first year.
We welcome applications from suitable counsellors on placement who believe they can thrive in this environment.
