 About The Role
 
 
 
 We are seeking an experienced and compassionate
 
 School Counsellor
 
 to join our small, nurturing school community. The majority of our students are in the
 
 Early Years and Primary sections
 
 , so this role focuses on
 
 student well-being, emotional development, and overcoming barriers to learning
 
 rather than career or higher education guidance.
 
 
 The ideal candidate will have a strong background in supporting
 
 young children
 
 and
 
 students with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
 
 . Experience in SEN support is
 
 essential
 
 , and any additional qualifications or certifications in this area will be highly valued.

 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Reporting Line and Team Collaboration
 
 
 
 The
 
 School Counsellor
 
 reports directly to the
 
 Head of School
 
 and works as part of a small inclusion team alongside the
 
 EAL/SEN Support Specialist
 
 . While the Counsellor leads on
 
 student wellbeing, safeguarding, and emotional support
 
 , the EAL/SEN Support Specialist leads on
 
 instructional support for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and English as an Additional Language (EAL)
 
 .
 
 
 Given the small size of the school,
 
 flexibility is essential
 
 . The exact scope of responsibilities may vary depending on the needs of the student population and the qualifications and experience of both professionals. In some cases, the Counsellor may assume additional responsibilities related to SEN coordination or targeted interventions, working closely with the EAL/SEN Support Specialist to ensure a holistic approach to student support.
