Centre 33 are currently looking to recruit a qualified therapist in the role of Mental Health & Counselling Project worker, initially based in two South Cambridgeshoire schools (secondary). As part of an established and supportive team of counsellors, you will provide short term therapeutic interventions to young people experiencing a range of difficulties. In addition to ongoing case work, you will be responsible for the assessment of young people’s mental health needs who are seeking to access support via school referral.
