St Christopher’s was established in 1961 to educate small groups of expatriate children and has developed into a large, not-for-profit, internationally-renowned school at the heart of the community. St Christopher’s provides an exceptional educational experience and is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading British curriculum international schools.
St Christopher’s aspires to operate at the forefront of international education. We are seeking to recruit a dynamic and experienced Psychotherapist or School Counsellor to join the St Christopher's school community. We provide a range of services, focused on early intervention, to help children and young people build resilience and overcome emotional barriers to mental health and life experiences. All of which support a child's ability to engage in school life and also support the well-being of the whole school community.
We value the benefits of an in-school counselling service. If you share our core values of caring, mutual respect and honesty, and have the counselling skills and patience to support vulnerable young people and families, we look forward to receiving your application.
