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.
