While we do our best to arrange a placement close to you, this cannot be guaranteed. If there isn’t a school nearby convenient for you to commute to once a week, this course may not be the right fit at this time. Please also note that not all schools on the map will have placements available.
Important Information
This application is only for external candidates applying for a placement to support their Autumn 26/27 Level 5 application with Place2Be. Please note: this is not the Level 5 course application, which must be completed separately.
You will be able to let the tutors know of any placement requirements during your interview (e.g., days of the week, general school location).
Counsellors on Placement 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.

- 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.

- We have places available in our projects in both primary and secondary schools nationwide.
*Counting your hours
All clinical hours gained on placement can be used towards accreditation with a body such as BACP and UKCP. However if you need to gain clinical hours for your course, we would strongly advise that you check with your course tutor as to whether child hours are accepted before applying. If your course does not accept child hours but you would like to gain counselling experience of working with Children and Young People, you can still apply for a Place2Be placement as a second placement.
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.
Additionally, for our clinical roles we are particularly keen in attracting male candidates to reflect the diversity of the partner schools and communities we work in.
