Description
School Counsellor Required: Cobham, Surrey School Counsellor Required: Cobham, Surrey
ACS International Schools
ACS International Schools Cobham requires a School Counsellor and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead to start in August 2024.
ACS School Counsellors promote student success, achievement, behaviour, and school safety in our international environment. The School Counsellor serves as an advocate for all students, a consultant to families and educators, and a collaborator to promote equity and access by connecting school counselling to our purpose, vision, and values. The Deputy DSL is the initial staff contact for all Safeguarding and Child Protection matters which arise in the student population for whom they are responsible. Their work is overseen by the DSL and Group DSL.
Prior experience as a School Counsellor and a Designated Safeguarding Lead in a school setting are essential for this role.
At ACS International School Cobham, our mission is to develop students who are ready for anything, meaning we are an active learning partner rather than a passive education provider. Underpinned by the International Baccalaureate DP, AP and American curricula, we emphasise life skills and student wellbeing as much as academic excellence, with a focus on experiential learning and leadership ensuring we nurture confident, caring, well-rounded international individuals who are ready for a world that is ever changing. Our diverse and inclusive student body is made up of 70 different nationalities. We offer boarding to over 100 Middle, Upper and High school students. All students have access to extensive co-curricular and enrichment programmes. ACS Cobham's 128 acre campus is 25 miles from central London, offering world class facilities. We have a sports centre with a 25m indoor pool, gym, tennis courts, 400m track, playing fields, floodlit astroturf pitches, dance studio, performing arts centre with a 500+ seat auditorium, IT hubs, science labs, interactive learning centre, art and music studios, just to name a few.
Key responsibilities:
Knowledge, Skills and Experience required:
Start date : August 2024
Working hours : Term time, Monday to Friday, 35 hours per week, 8:30 – 4:30pm, on site in Cobham, Surrey, UK
Benefits : PMI, pension, relocation allowance, visa support, subsidised catering and more.
Safeguarding
ACS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and as an employee of ACS you are expected to share this commitment. The protection of our students' welfare is the responsibility of all staff within ACS International Schools and individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of our organisation.
