Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a qualified Counsellor to provide an individual counselling service for pupils following best practice in line with BACP/UKCP guidance and current legislation around working with children and young people. The role also involves contributing to the whole school approach to mental health and emotional wellbeing for pupils and staff within the Academy community.


Our Vision:

‘‘Be the best you can’ this is what we ask of our pupils and our staff. 

We are committed to providing the very best educational experience for our young people and invite applicants who share this commitment and want to be a part of our success story. We believe in the power a community can have and so intentionally have developed a strong Academy community of dedicated and friendly support staff to inspire our pupils.

The Academy is on a journey from Good to Great and appointed a new Principal in September 2020 to ensure that this objective is realised. The recruitment of a qualified Academy Counsellor is crucial to the success of this journey.

About Us:

  • We provide a world class education for boys and girls aged 11-19, in a modern state of the art building that opened in September 2010. 
  • We provide a welcoming, caring and stimulating environment with excellent teaching facilities. 
  • We have pupils who strive to maximise their achievement and are fully supported by parents who work with us in partnership. 
  • We have excellent transport links; 5 min walk from the bus stop or 7 min walk from Manor House tube station which serves the Piccadilly Line. 
  • We have a high-quality teaching staff fully committed to supporting pupil’s academic and personal development.
  • We offer excellent opportunities for your own professional development.
  • We believe qualifications open doors but are only part of the story. All children deserve a full rounded education.

Please note this post allows substantial access to children, therefore the successful candidate will be required to apply for, and hold, an enhanced DBS (Disclosure & Barring Services) certificate. The Academy will arrange this for you prior to you taking up your post.

To apply, please send a completed application form and monitoring form to: recruitment@skinnersacademy.org.uk.

Please note that we do not accept CVs.
