Batley Multi Academy Trust's sole purpose is to provide a great education for Primary and Secondary learners throughout a local family of schools.

The Trust is passionately committed to the communities of Batley, Birstall, Dewsbury and our surrounding areas, serving our local learners and their families in order to secure excellent educational outcomes, partnered with high aspirations.

Batley Multi Academy Trust currently comprises Batley Girls' High School, Batley Grammar School, Field Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery School, Healey Junior, Infant and Nursery School, Manorfield Infant and Nursery School and Upper Batley High School.

We provide high quality education for all young people.

This collaboration enables us to share expertise, knowledge and best practice to ensure academic and pastoral excellence throughout all of our schools, with all schools embracing the same overall ethos and values, whilst maintaining their own unique characters.

Upper Batley High School was identified as a Beacon School in the Northern Challenge report due to the excellent progress our disadvantaged learners make.

We also hold the Gold Award for Mental Health & Wellbeing, the PSHCE Charter Mark, the Careers Quality Standard and we are a lead school within the Kirklees Careers Hub.

We are one of only a few schools in the UK to achieve 100% in all Gatsby benchmarks.

Ofsted identified our careers programme as a "real strength of the school" and we are in the top 14% of all schools nationally.

Our 11-16 school is multi-cultural and located close to the town centre, within easy access of the motorway network.

Our work is focused on developing the unique potential of every individual whilst working towards becoming an outstanding educational organisation.

We are a vibrant, rich and exciting learning community with unique and inspiring opportunities inside and outside the classroom.

We are seeking to appoint a Counsellor to provide a high quality confidential counselling service to young people in accordance with BACP guidelines.

The post would suit an experienced qualified counsellor seeking to expand their counselling expertise.

The post holder must hold a recognised qualification in counselling or psychotherapy and have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to convey empathy and relate well to all members of the school and the wider community.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive forward thinking Trust, who in return for your commitment and hard work, will support you to achieve your own career goals and aspirations.
