We're seeking a School Counselor who can support social-emotional development, guide academic and university pathways, and contribute to a whole-school culture of wellbeing. You'll work closely with our Head of Admissions & Counseling and collaborate with teachers, families, and leadership on student support.
You Get It, Want It, and Have the Capacity If You:
Understand that counseling in schools is systemic—working with individuals and shaping environment
Want to balance responsive support (when students are struggling) with proactive programming (so fewer do)
Can hold confidentiality appropriately while collaborating effectively with teachers and families
Navigate diverse cultural backgrounds with humility and skill
Core Responsibilities (Your "Rocks")
Provide individual and small-group counseling for social-emotional concerns
Develop and deliver wellbeing curriculum and programming (aligned with RULER or similar frameworks)
Serve on safeguarding and student support teams
Partner with families and external professionals when additional support is needed
What You Bring
Master's degree in School Counseling, Educational Psychology, or related field
Minimum 3 years experience in a school counseling role
Training in evidence-based approaches (CBT, solution-focused, trauma-informed)
Experience with developing a whole school preventive program
Understanding of child safeguarding responsibilities
We're the Right Fit If You Value:
Whole-Child Wellbeing – Academic success and emotional health are inseparable
Systemic Thinking – You see patterns, not just individual cases
Cultural Responsiveness – You meet families where they are
Confidentiality with Collaboration – You know when to hold and when to share
Prevention as Priority – You build capacity, not just respond to crisis
