We create a safe place in schools where children and young people can open up without pressure or stigma, allowing our highly skilled and diverse counsellors to reach children, young people and their families who need us.

A qualified therapist/ counsellor, you’ve been working in the profession for at least a year, and now it’s time to take the next step. As a Place2Be Supervising Counsellor your main focus is assessment and formulation of referrals and supporting and overseeing the work of the Counsellors on Placement enabling them to deliver interventions across all year groups and achieve the best outcomes for the young people we support.
