Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

The successful post holder will be a member of the BACP, have a related counselling qualification and will be working in an academy covering both Upper and Lower sites.  You will support young people attending the academy in need of emotional support to achieve their full potential.

You will work alongside pastoral staff at the academy to coordinate counselling session times, absences and referrals, as well as with a Catch22 Administrator and Service Manager to provide the information required to produce our termly report.

You will be a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), be a suitably qualified counsellor, have access to Catch22’s full range of Learning & Development Opportunities, whilst also having access to an annual CPD budget and attending regular clinical supervision sessions (costs for which will be covered by Catch22).
