    Description
    Oregon Episcopal School seeks an Upper School Counselor to begin duties in August 2026. Interested candidates should include a resume and cover letter addressed to Tracy Hardister (Director of Student Support) when submitting materials.
    OUR MISSION: Oregon Episcopal School educates students to realize their power for good as engaged citizens of the world.
    ABOUT US: Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal School today occupies a wooded 59 acre campus where 880 students in Pre-K through 12th Grade share an excellent faculty, an inquiry based curriculum, and a strong sense of community. The Upper School also includes a small boarding program of international and domestic students who live and learn together enhancing the vibrancy of the school community.
    The School values employees who seek to continually develop the OES Essential Competencies in themselves and others and are prepared to engage in a vibrant, diverse learning community. Committed to the professional development of our faculty, teachers are guided by the Learning and Teaching at OES faculty growth model.
    As an Episcopal school, we are rooted in a rhythm of gathering and reflection that values and respects all beliefs and cultures. As such, we educate toward a larger purpose - toward inclusion and respect, service and justice and commitment beyond ourselves.
    JOB SUMMARY: The Upper School (US) Counselor supports students in grades 9 to 12 related to academic, social-emotional, and behavioral development using a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework. The counselor promotes student wellness through prevention, early intervention, and short-term individual and small group support, while collaborating closely with administrators, faculty, residence life, families, and external providers.
    The all-school OES Student Support Team works alongside teachers, students, and parents to create inclusive, safe, and supportive learning environments where students can grow, learn, and thrive. We emphasize our students' strengths while empowering them to be capable learners who take risks, self-monitor, self-advocate, and develop resiliency. Operating from a holistic perspective, we recognize that a positive and successful educational experience ensures that a student's academic, social, and emotional needs are met. Through thoughtful collaboration and planning, the OES Student Support Team honors individual learning styles and differences, embracing a diverse learning community. The OES Student Support Team is composed of the Director of Student Support along with a Learning Support Specialist and a School Counselor for each Division.
    ESSENTIAL DUTIES:

    • Assist, when appropriate, with transitioning students and their families into the OES community, between grade levels, and between divisions.
    • Offer crisis intervention and support in the event of a school crisis response need.
    • Collaborate with the Student Support Team, student, parents, and external providers to develop Medical Leave Plans and Re-entry Plans for students who require intensive mental health treatment.
    • Participate in the admissions review process through reviewing applications, attending admissions review meetings, and/or attending admission Open House and applicant screening events.
    • Collaborate with the all-school Student Support Team and Counseling Team, including attending regularly scheduled meetings and collaborating on initiatives.
    • Provide training for faculty and residential life staff on SEL and mental health topics.
    • Partner with the school nurse to support students with medical-emotional needs.
    • Provide parent education and consultation, including facilitating two parent partnership meetings each school year.
