Counselling Placement (voluntary)

The ideal candidate will work with 3 clients a week on a short term basis of 6-12 sessions, although this may be extended where needed. This is a voluntary, term time only placement. Placements will take place on a Monday or Wednesday.
Applications are welcomed from any therapeutic model, and the successful candidate(s) must be a member of the BACP or UKCP, working in accordance with their Ethical Framework. Further training will be provided regarding child protection and safeguarding, relevant school systems, confidentiality, GDPR and note taking.
Placement counsellors will be supported by the school's Therapist and Clinical Supervisor through regular meetings to discuss any concerns or difficulties as they arise. They will also provide free regular clinical supervision and will work with you to complete the necessary placement admin and feedback required for your training.

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a fully qualified or trainee counsellor to gain face to face clinical experience of working therapeutically with young people (aged 11-18 years) as part of their counselling placement., The ideal candidate will have already completed their first placement as part of their Diploma or will be enrolling on their L5-CYP. Alternatively, this may be a suitable first placement for a candidate who already has significant experience of working with young people aged 11-18.
