Job Description:

Health is One is a values-driven organisation dedicated to improving mental health, emotional wellbeing, and psychological resilience. Our purpose is to make a meaningful and lasting difference, ensuring individuals, families, and communities have access to support that genuinely helps them thrive.

We deliver trusted, evidence-based, and holistic mental health services across the UK, empowering people to feel better, function well, and live fulfilling lives. Our approach focuses not only on individual support, but on creating environments where wellbeing is actively promoted, protected, and sustained.

The Exchange, our specialist children and young people’s division, has been delivering school-based and community counselling services for over 15 years. Through this established and experienced service, we work in partnership with schools, local authorities, and communities to provide accessible, high-quality therapeutic support and contribute to a whole-school approach to emotional wellbeing.

Together, our services combine clinical expertise with a strong commitment to early intervention, prevention, and improving outcomes for children, young people, and families.

Role Summary

Job Type: Full and part time available
Work Location: South Wales, Newport and Merthyr

In this role, you will provide counselling and evidence-based therapeutic support to young people in schools and communities in South Wales.

Key Responsibilities

· Deliver high-quality, evidence-based counselling interventions to children and young people, in line with ethical standards and best practice guidance outlined in the School-Based Counselling Toolkit.

· Contribute to a whole-school approach to emotional wellbeing, working collaboratively with school staff to promote a safe, inclusive, and psychologically informed environment that supports all learners.

· Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential clinical records, including appointment attendance and session notes, in accordance with organisational policies and professional standards.

· Use recognised outcome measures and service evaluation tools to support therapeutic practice, monitor progress, and contribute to continuous service improvement.

· Actively promote emotional wellbeing within the school community through universal and targeted activities (e.g. assemblies, classroom input, staff engagement), supporting early intervention and prevention.

· Participate in multi-agency and school-based meetings, including triage discussions and child planning meetings, contributing clinical expertise to inform decision-making and coordinated support.

· Contribute to individualised support plans, providing clear, proportionate recommendations for young people, families, and school staff in line with the young person’s needs and context.

· Build and maintain effective, collaborative relationships with school staff, parents/carers, and external professionals to ensure integrated, child-centred support.

· Contribute to safeguarding processes, recognising and responding appropriately to risk in line with organisational and statutory procedures.

· Support the wider school community by attending relevant events (e.g. parents’ evenings, wellbeing sessions), strengthening engagement with families and promoting service accessibility.

· Manage and prioritise a caseload effectively, including scheduling sessions within school settings and liaising with parents/carers as part of the therapeutic process.

· Engage in regular supervision, reflective practice, and professional development, maintaining compliance with professional body requirements and contributing to service quality.

· Contribute to service development and quality assurance activity, including feedback, audits, and implementation of best practice aligned with national guidance.

Essential Training & Qualifications

· A Diploma-level (or equivalent) qualification in counselling, psychotherapy, or counselling psychology, accredited by a recognised professional body (e.g. BACP, BPS, UKCP or equivalent)

· Advanced training in working with children and young people (CYP) or demonstrable equivalent experience delivering counselling in child-focused settings

· Current membership of an appropriate professional body (e.g. BACP, UKCP, BPS or equivalent)

· Hold, or be actively working towards, professional accreditation (e.g. BACP accreditation)

Essential Requirements

· Demonstrable experience delivering counselling or therapeutic support to children and young people

· Ability to build and sustain positive, collaborative relationships within school environments, contributing to a whole-school approach to emotional wellbeing

· Knowledge and understanding of the factors impacting children and young people’s mental health, particularly within educational settings (e.g. safeguarding, additional learning needs, trauma, and social/emotional development)

· Ability to deliver interventions in line with recognised good practice, including the School-Based Counselling Toolkit and ethical frameworks

· Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a caseload effectively and maintain accurate records

· Effective communication skills, with the ability to engage sensitively with children, families, school staff, and multi-agency partners

· An enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is required for this role

· Ability to work flexibly within school environments, including managing occasionally challenging situations in a calm, professional, and therapeutically informed manner

· Commitment to safeguarding, confidentiality, and professional boundaries at all times

· Willingness to engage in ongoing supervision, reflective practice, and continuous professional development
