The School

We are looking for a dedicated Aspiring Psychotherapist to work in this small, specialist school near Guildford.

The school has a deep focus on addressing the educational, social and therapeutic needs of students, focusing on individual happiness and well-being where students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

This Aspiring Psychotherapist role will give graduates and trainees essential restorative experience within anti-social and challenging settings - the perfect opportunity if you are thinking of a career in prison, rehabilitation, probation, or youth justice services. Based on holistic and therapeutic practice, this Aspiring Youth Worker role is an amazing opportunity for Criminology and Psychology Graduates. The role will give you hands-on experience working with vulnerable children; and through building strong, robust relationships, you will increase the engagement, attainment and life chances of children, aiming to ensure they do not enter the criminal justice system.

You will be working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges and traumas. Some children / young people will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary. Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.
