Strake Jesuit is currently seeking qualified applicants for the full-time faculty position of Academic and Personal Counselor. 

The Academic and Personal Counselor will manage a caseload of students through their four years at Strake Jesuit, becoming an integral part of the school’s cura personalis — individualized care for the particular needs of each student — as he matures into the adult envisioned in the Strake Jesuit Graduate at Graduation. The counselor will hold weekly counseling group meetings with their caseload, and present a wide-ranging curriculum on topics like relationships, mental health and wellness, leadership, study skills, standardized testing, course selection, and key academic and personal transitions between grades and through adolescence. 

The successful candidate must be skilled in group dynamics and management, curriculum development, and classroom instruction. The Academic and Personal Counselor will also meet one-on-one with students and families as needed, and serves a central role collaborating with administration and faculty in serving students in ordinary moments and in extraordinary or crisis moments.

A master’s degree in counseling, or professional licensure in a counseling-related field is preferred; a bachelor’s degree is required. Extensive experience in school counseling is a significant asset. In addition to being a full-time member of the teaching faculty, duties include participation in an ongoing teacher formation program, assisting in the daily needs of the school community, and moderating or assisting in at least one extracurricular program offered by the school. Like all Jesuit faculty, the successful Academic and Personal Counselor is enthusiastically committed to school life and our mission.
