School Counsellor

Thank you for your interest in the post of School Counsellor.

We are a Trust of nine schools, all based in South-East London. Whilst each of our schools maintains its individuality, we share a common mission: to ensure that every single child and young person in our care is successful at school so that they can flourish and be successful in their lives.

Our mission is simple – we want pupils to ‘Become their best at Borough’ in all aspects of their lives. We have the highest aspirations for each young person we work with and strive to help them to fulfil their potential.

Our Academy values, which were created by our young people, speak to that. We expect our learners to become excellent ambassadors for their community, by working hard to achieve their aspirations, whilst becoming kind and resilient citizens.

Our location in the centre of the capital allows us to provide a unique take on the curriculum, making the most of partnerships with world leading organisations which enrich and enhance our offer. In all areas of the curriculum, we aim to ignite a spark which enables our young people to become scholars of their chosen subject disciplines.

We are seeking an experienced School Counsellor to join our team. Under the guidance of the senior leadership team and within the overall ethos of the school, you will undertake care and support the welfare of individual pupils.

Borough Academy’s School Counsellor will work across the pastoral team to support students with a range of issues associated with their mental health. The School Counsellor will both lead interventions for individuals and groups of students. They will work closely with the SEND, welfare, attendance and behaviour teams to identify students in need and craft appropriate interventions. They will play an integral role in the weekly inclusion panel.

We look forward to hearing from you if you are aligned with our values and have the drive, skills and enthusiasm to make a real impact at Borough Academy.
