This role is ideal for someone passionate about supporting children's emotional wellbeing through therapeutic play approaches within schools. You will work closely with pupils, families, SENCOs, pastoral teams, and the wider multidisciplinary team to help children feel safe, regulated, understood, and able to access learning.

About the Role

You will provide play therapy interventions for children experiencing social, emotional, behavioural, and wellbeing challenges. This may include supporting children with anxiety, trauma, attachment difficulties, emotional regulation needs, school-based distress, bereavement, neurodivergent profiles, and adverse childhood experiences.

The role combines direct therapeutic work with collaboration, consultation, and contribution to wider wellbeing support within schools.

Responsibilities

Deliver individual and small-group play therapy sessions within school settings
Complete assessments, formulations, and therapeutic planning
Maintain accurate clinical notes and reports
Work collaboratively with SENCOs, school staff, families, and multidisciplinary professionals
Contribute to safeguarding and wellbeing planning where appropriate
Create safe, supportive, and therapeutic environments for children
Participate in supervision, CPD, and team meetings
Support schools in developing emotionally supportive and trauma-informed practices

Essential Criteria

Recognised qualification in Play Therapy
Registration with one of the following professional bodies:
- British Association of Play Therapists (BAPT), or
- Play Therapy UK (PTUK)
Experience working therapeutically with children and young people
Strong understanding of child development, attachment, and emotional wellbeing
Knowledge of safeguarding procedures and professional boundaries
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Ability to work independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams
Commitment to inclusive, child-centred, and neurodivergent-affirming practice

Desirable

Experience working within schools or educational settings
Experience supporting neurodivergent children and young people
Understanding of trauma-informed approaches
Experience working collaboratively with families and external professionals

What We Offer

A warm, supportive, and collaborative multidisciplinary team
Regular supervision and opportunities for reflective practice
Ongoing CPD and training opportunities
Structured onboarding and induction
Opportunities to collaborate with therapists, psychologists, and school staff
A role where you can genuinely impact children's emotional wellbeing and access to learning

At Words First, children are at the centre of everything we do. We believe strong relationships, collaboration, and emotionally supportive environments create the best outcomes for children, families, and schools.
