Job Search
Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Counsellor
The job itself
We are looking to recruit a full-time Counsellor, who is passionate about supporting young people with emotional and mental health issues, to join our dedicated team in the East Riding. The post holder will provide counselling support for children within schools and children’s centres in the Haltemprice and Goole area of the East Riding. We can consider job-share applications also.
‘You can, I can, We can’
We have created a bespoke practice model that reflects and connects our vision, our value base and our behaviour as one East Riding of Yorkshire approach to working with children, young people and their families, which is nurtured and grown from within East Riding of Yorkshire CYPSSS and owned by our workforce.
We remain committed to Signs of Safety as a practice framework, but this will be set within a much wider, values based, model of practice that clearly connects Signs of Safety much more clearly with the East Riding value base, and our overall approach to making and sustaining relationships with children, families and communities.
Without a well embedded model, there is nothing to centre our practice on to ensure that, while the work may be different, all our teams are grounded in the same values, beliefs, theories and approaches. Having a well-developed practice model helps to create a common language for the service and enables everyone to understand how we go about doing the right things, in the right way and for the right reasons for children and their families.
