About This Job

• We are looking for people who want to get very good at helping children.

• We are MindfulBear, a specialist child counselling centre for children and teens between 5 and 18.

• Wed to Sun (5-day week), closed on public holidays. 11am to 8pm on weekdays, 9am to 6pm on weekends.

• 2 locations: Bendemeer/Lavender MRT or Marine Parade MRT.

• Up to SGD 3,800 monthly plus incentives, depending on experience.

• Your own therapy room.

• Supervision is scheduled, outcomes are tracked, and your manager occasionally sits in to coach you.

• More about working here: mindfulbear.sg/careers
  

Job Scope

• Provide direct clinical services to children and youths through counselling and group work.

• Work with parents and children to develop effective strategies.

• Implement and follow up on care plans and interventions.

• Participate in case conferences with the team, schools and external agencies.

• Run group programmes and workshops in primary and secondary schools.

• Not in your scope: chasing referrals, marketing yourself, billing, invoicing, or booking admin.

Requirements

• Must be Singaporean or PR.

• Bachelor's Degree in Counselling or Psychology.

• Two years of counselling experience, or equivalent hands-on experience working with children. If you have come from childcare, teaching or another child-facing role, we want to hear from you.

• Additional qualifications in CBT, play therapy, behaviour management, case management or group work are beneficial.

• Proficiency in Mandarin is preferred to communicate with Mandarin-speaking parents.

Who does well here

• You can compartmentalise. You will hear things about children that stay with you, and you need to be able to put them down at the end of the day.

• You see yourself as a facilitator, not an expert. The parents know their child better than you do. Your job is to help them with their child's challenges, not to hand down instructions from above.

• You see this as a craft. You want to get good, not just get through. You would rather be told what you got wrong than be left alone to repeat it.

Benefits

• Your own therapy room, plus a budget to make it yours once you pass probation.

• Clients are assigned to you. You never chase referrals or market yourself.

• Scheduled 1-on-1 supervision and coaching, built into the role.

• Monthly performance incentive on top of base salary.

• An annual salary increment.

• Three days of training leave a year, plus a company-paid fund for external courses.

• Play therapy resources, a clinical library and a shared toolkit, all provided.

• Structured onboarding. You shadow senior therapists before you carry your own caseload.

• Progression into supervision, mentoring or centre management as we open more centres.

• Paid annual and parental leave.

• A birthday allowance of SGD 30, to spend on whatever you want.

• Team events through the year, from buffet lunches to escape rooms and pickleball.
