On a day-to-day basis, you will take responsibility for a caseload of students, providing 1:1, planned, target-based, wellbeing coaching. You will use a wellbeing scale to baseline new cases and evaluate with your students, planning next steps. In addition, for each week, you will plan, resource and run targeted group interventions and elective wellbeing activities for the wider student community, based on specific aspects of wellbeing. Alongside your caseload, you will see students on an ad-hoc, drop-in basis for wellbeing support and to provide a listening ear and will also be expected to communicate, as appropriately, with parents/carers and staff, under the direction of the DSL.
