Belle Vie Farm seeks counselors to work with children ages 6-11 for our Teacher Workday Camps. We offer between 2-10 camp days each month, Monday through Friday, between September 2025 - April 2026. All camps take place on BVF, located 2 miles from downtown Chapel Hill/Carrboro.
Details about our TWD camps can be found here https://www.belleviefarm.org/workdaycamps. Counselors pick which camp days they want to work. We also love to hire our summer camp counselors from our TWD staff, so if you are looking for employment during the summers, this could be a great fit.
Staff Hours
TWD camps begin at 8am and run to 3:30pm. Counselors arrive at 7:45 and leave at 3:30. Our camps are mostly outdoors (except in unsafe or extreme weather) and in our climate controlled maker studio and indoor barn. This is a position that requires the right candidate to be a joyful person who likes children, and who has lots of energy and a goofy, playful spirit. You should be in excellent physical shape because our farm is 34 acres! The children hike, run, play in the forest, build forts, make messes in the mud kitchen and do lots of messy art. You must be able to move quickly, keep up with energetic kids and actually enjoy doing so.
We readily acknowledge that this position is NOT for everyone. We don't do mediocre at Belle Vie. If you are flatline, bored, (boring!), uninspired, etc - this won't work. If you approach child care as if you are meant to keep the kids safe and that is the bulk of your work, this is NOT the right job for you. We view our counselors as THE reason kids keep coming back to BVF, so we simply cannot hire/keep you if you aren't energetic and authentically interested in kids and fun.
Interviews take a lot of time for everyone, so if this job doesn't sound like it is a good fit, don't apply:)
The right candidate will be excited about showing up for camp days, will communicate effectively with the director and parents, and will speak positively about children, families and other staff. We like to be happy here, so if you're not, we are not the right fit for you. If you think this sounds like a really fun way to make extra money with a wonderfully flexible schedule, please reach out to us!

Tips for Your Teacher Counselor Job Search
Tailor your resume to caseload size
Teacher counselor postings often specify student-to-counselor ratios or caseload expectations. Quantify your own experience by listing the number of students you supported at once and the grade levels served, so hiring managers can immediately gauge your capacity.
Highlight licensure and credential details upfront
Many districts require a school counseling license, pupil personnel services credential, or state-specific endorsement. List your exact credential name, issuing state, and expiration date near the top of your resume so screeners don't have to hunt for compliance information.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists teacher counselor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by school population served
Job titles vary widely: some postings say teacher counselor, others say school counselor or student support specialist. Search multiple variations and filter by setting, such as alternative education, Title I schools, or early childhood, to surface roles that match your actual background.
Prepare a case-based interview story
Panels for teacher counselor roles almost always ask you to walk through a real student crisis or intervention. Prepare two or three structured examples using situation, action, and outcome, covering both academic and social-emotional scenarios, so you're not improvising under pressure.
Negotiate for professional development time
School calendars can limit paid training days. When you receive an offer, ask specifically about conference attendance funding, supervision hours for license renewal, and whether the district covers continuing education credits, since these affect your long-term licensure and earning potential.
Teacher Counselor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most teacher counselors?
The most active employers for teacher counselors right now are Positive Education Program, School District of Philadelphia, and Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio, and the most openings are in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Oregon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. District size and state funding levels tend to drive the highest concentrations of open roles.
How many teacher counselor jobs are remote?
About 33% of teacher counselor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than many other education-adjacent roles because most positions require on-site presence with students. Remote opportunities tend to cluster in virtual school programs, online alternative education providers, and telehealth-integrated student support services.
How do you become a teacher counselor?
To become a teacher counselor, earn a bachelor's degree in education, psychology, or a related field, then complete a master's program in school counseling accredited by CACREP or your state's equivalent. Finish the required supervised clinical hours, pass your state's licensure exam, and apply for your school counseling credential through your state's department of education before submitting job applications.
Can you get hired as a teacher counselor with little experience?
Yes, entry-level teacher counselor roles do exist, particularly in Title I schools, nonprofit youth organizations, and alternative education programs that struggle with high turnover. Completing a full internship placement in a school setting, earning any additional certifications in trauma-informed care or crisis intervention, and applying to districts actively growing their counseling staff all improve your chances without years of post-degree experience.
What does the teacher counselor interview process look like?
Most teacher counselor interviews involve an initial screening call with HR, followed by a panel interview with school administrators, a lead counselor, and sometimes a teacher representative. Panels typically ask scenario-based questions about student crises, family communication, and legal or ethical dilemmas. Some districts also request a brief role-play exercise or ask you to review a mock student case file before your panel session.
Where can I find and apply to teacher counselor jobs?
You can find and apply to teacher counselor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your credentials, setting preference, and grade-level experience, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
