About The Role
You will lead an experienced and motivated Counsellor on Placement Co-ordinator team to successfully oversee the recruitment process for c1200 Counsellors on Placement, who come from colleges/universities and other providers to deliver school partnership counselling services during their training or who may already be adult trained but wish to gain experience of working with children and young people. You will work with our regional Clinical teams and Area Managers, to ensure we deliver presentations to students, so that we can build a pipeline of counsellors on placement that can be ready to start placements on a termly basis.
Working with senior operational managers who are accountable for delivering quality school-based services across England, Scotland and Wales, you will ensure accurate information is available on number of placements required for each school in a defined geographical area.
What will I be responsible for in my new role?
You will:

- manage high value college/university relationships by working with clinical colleagues to ensure strong relationships are developed and maintained with Course Leaders and Tutors

You will work with management to ensure they are regularly updating information on when placements start at a school and when the leave. Without this we are unable to produce up-to-date and accurate recruitment information on retention
