We are now accepting applications for Child Counselling student placements. However – please note we will only accept applications from those studying for Level 5 in counselling or above, and this placement is for those training to work with 5-11 year olds only. We are seeking applications from student counsellors, who have completed, or are completing their Level 5 in Counselling, to deliver high quality therapy sessions to children between the ages of 5-11. Supported by skilled clinical supervision and outstanding leadership, you will:
- Deliver face-to-face counselling sessions to children and young people living on the Isle of Wight
- Carry out counselling assessments to individual children and young people and support signposting and referral to the most appropriate service
- Demonstrate outcomes and evaluation of success and achievements through therapy
- Work holistically with parent/families as appropriate. Placements are usually for 1 year, but may be flexible
Placements will start in Spring 2025, but there may be scope for flexibility here too. Due to the popularity of our Student Placements, we will likely have to conduct a shortlisting and interview process.
