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 space 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.
A qualified therapist or counsellor with at least one year of professional experience is now ready to take the next step. As a Place2Be Supervising Counsellor, your main focus will be on assessment and formulation of referrals, supporting and overseeing the work of Counsellors on Placement, enabling them to deliver interventions across all year groups and achieve the best outcomes for the young people we support. You will still deliver some therapeutic work with children, including group and whole-class sessions, but your primary role will be shaping the clinical delivery of services within your school.
As part of a large community of practitioners across the UK, you’ll have opportunities to share best practices and develop your clinical thinking, knowledge, and skills. You will have access to extensive training and development opportunities and a pathway to grow your career.
