For September 2026, we are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified school counsellor to join our outstanding pastoral team at Sheffield Girls', as maternity cover for the current postholder who has established a highly valued service.
Encouraging our pupils to talk about their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment is important to us.
Our Heads of Year support our students to deal with a range of issues they may encounter and, as our School Counsellor, you would provide a complementary service, helping those who would benefit from additional support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be motivated, empathic and have the skills to work with a great deal of autonomy. You will join a supportive and collaborative team in a rewarding role, enabling our pupils to fulfil their personal and academic potential.
The role is offered on a part time basis, working term time only. We would like someone to join our team from September, or as soon as possible, depending on notice period.
This is a part time role, with hours equating to approximately 70% of a full-time position.
