School Counsellor

Required for September 2023.

Speaking to a school counsellor can be a transformative experience for children and young people. It can help them cope with the difficult circumstances they face in their lives - and to go on and flourish in the future (BACP)

Seven Kings School is an all-through comprehensive school in the London Borough of Redbridge. We provide a high-quality education to local children, regardless of their ability. There are approximately 2300 students on roll, 500 of these in our dynamic Sixth Form. We are a ‘harmonious school’ with an excellent learning environment.

This is a superb opportunity for the right person; we ask a great deal of our staff but we offer an outstanding opportunity for the right person to make a real impact on children’s lives, supporting our lovely students meaningfully and in turn supported by highly professional and committed colleagues.

We are looking for a fully qualified and experienced young persons' counsellor to deliver a professional, confidential and accountable school-based counselling service to our wonderful young people.

The successful candidate will have strong personal values and be motivated to lead in line with the ethos of Seven Kings School having an unconditional positive regard for young people. You will be able to provide effective therapeutic counselling to young people to help them develop emotional resilience and improved self-esteem. A BACP registered and ideally accredited counsellor, you will have a solid understanding of the developmental, emotional, social and educational issues of children and be able to effectively deliver one to one counselling provision in school.

We are looking to appoint a candidate who is eager to develop this role and we welcome applications which will ensure we are continuing to diversify our staff and leadership, we are committed to equal opportunities. The right candidate can make something of this role, ensuring our students fulfil their wonderful potential.

Seven Kings School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share in this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
