Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Place2Be Full time

About The Role

We are currently recruiting for a Counsellor on Placement to provide emotional and therapeutic support to children and young people aged 4-18 in Place2Be partner schools.

As an organisation that has adopted the BACP ethical framework of good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, counsellors working within the organisation are dedicated to improving the mental health and well-being of the children they work with.

Place2Be provides a high level of support to counsellors on placement through regular supervision, tailored training workshops and offers a well-recognised clinical placement.

We provide a comprehensive induction programme and clinical supervision is undertaken at the end of each day.

We need you to be available for a minimum of one day per week to work in a therapeutic capacity with up to 3 children offering one-to-one counselling.

Placements are term time only and run for one academic year. There are opportunities for you to stay with us beyond one year.

You will have the opportunity to attend up to six optional workshops throughout the year which are recognised as continuing professional development time.

Sessions spent with children are accepted as clinical hours towards professional accreditation, and are recognised by the BACP and UKCP.

A placement is an excellent stepping stone into a job opportunity and career with Place2Be, over 2⁄3 of our clinical staff were once Counsellors on Placement.

We have places available in our projects in both primary and secondary schools nationwide.

Diversity and Inclusion

Place2Be is committed to equal opportunities and anti-discrimination practices and we positively encourage applications from all sections of the community. We are particularly interested in attracting applications from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds.

Training availability

Please note, you would need to attend two mandatory trainings, if you are offered a placement. Please see a list of our current available training dates.
