The roles available are either for one counsellor to provide services to both Senior School and Junior School pupils or two separate roles to provide services in either the older or younger age groups. In all cases, this will include independent and confidential counselling through individual sessions, responding to pupils’ personal, social, emotional or educational concerns, ensuring confidentiality at all times and promoting a caring and supportive environment

There may be scope for a highly experience candidate to act as the Lead Counsellor, for the group of three of four independent counsellors within the school.
