What are the responsibilities and job description for the Certified High School Counselor, Full-time position at IntelliSchool Charter High School?
IntelliSchool is hiring a full-time High School Counselor for our Metro Center campus.
We are a small alternative charter high school serving students across multiple daily sessions in a quiet, flexible, high-support learning environment. Our students often come to us because they need something different from a traditional high school setting: a smaller campus, more personal support, flexible scheduling, and a team that helps them stay focused on graduation.
This is not a traditional office-only counseling position. The counselor is an active member of the campus team and plays a visible role in student support, campus culture, academic persistence, and daily floor management.
Position Overview
The High School Counselor will work closely with campus leadership, teachers, and support staff to help students stay engaged, make academic progress, and work toward graduation. The counselor will provide regular student check-ins, support academic and social-emotional needs, communicate with families, and help maintain a positive, respectful, and safe learning environment.
Because our campus serves students across morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, this position requires two closing shifts per week (11am-7pm). Closing shifts are an important part of the role and help ensure evening-session students receive consistent access to counseling and support.
