As we approach the summer term of 2025, we are excited to announce a unique opportunity to join our team as a school-based counsellor. Our mission is to provide vital support to children and young people, and the rising demand for mental health services in schools makes this role even more essential. Your involvement could help us reach more students than ever before!
This recruitment drive is not just about filling a position. It is about making a positive impact on the lives of young people during a crucial period in their development. In this post, we'll look at why we need a new school-based counsellor, explain our part-funded self-referral scheme, and discuss the significant difference you could make by joining our team.
The Importance of Counselling in Schools
School counselling is not merely a safety net; it is essential for nurturing a child's emotional and psychological growth. In 2020, a survey found that 3 in 10 young people reported feeling anxious and stressed due to academic pressures and social challenges. As a school-based counsellor, you would provide a supportive environment where students can discuss their concerns, learn coping strategies, and thrive.
Your interactions with students can lead to a 25% reduction in feelings of stress and anxiety, allowing them to focus more on their studies and enjoy school life. Studies have shown that early intervention through counselling can boost emotional well-being, which translates into better academic performance. We want to provide this essential support to as many students as possible, and we need your help to achieve that.
Why Join Us?
Joining our team as a school-based counsellor is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to be part of a community that prioritizes youth mental health and well-being. Here are a few reasons why this role is rewarding:
Make a Direct Impact: Your work will directly improve the well-being of children and young people, empowering them to handle challenges effectively. Research indicates that students who receive counselling show a 40% increase in resilience.
Supportive Environment: You will collaborate with a team of compassionate professionals who share your commitment to mental health. Working together leads to shared successes and greater impact.
Professional Development: Our organization is dedicated to continuous learning. You will have access to workshops and training sessions tailored to enhance your skills and knowledge.
Work-Life Balance: We prioritize your personal time. Our focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance ensures you can thrive professionally and personally.
Becoming part of our team means participating in a journey aimed at transforming the mental health landscape for children and young people.
Our Part-Funded Self-Referral Scheme
Alongside recruiting a new school-based counsellor, we are proud to introduce our part-funded self-referral scheme specifically designed for children, young people and their families who may not have access to counselling services. We believe mental health care should be available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
What is Self-Referral?
Self-referral encourages individuals to seek help on their own terms, allowing them to recognize their needs and access support without the barriers of traditional referral systems. Our part-funded scheme helps bridge the gap by minimizing financial obstacles to essential mental health services.
With contributions from our generous partners and funders, we can fund a portion of the counselling sessions. This initiative allows us to reach a broader audience, particularly those who may feel isolated or overlooked. Please find more information here
