Description:	This study investigated the job satisfaction among school counsellors in secondary schools in mid-western Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The participants were 121 secondary school counsellors drawn from secondary schools in mid-western Nigeria. A questionnaire titled “Counsellor’s Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (CJSQ)” was used to collect data for this study. The results indicated that the majority of the secondary school counselors are satisfied with their jobs. Also, promotion was the best single factorr predicting job satisfaction. In addition, job dimension variables such as promotion, job tenure, salary, social support and supervision significantly correlated with job satisfaction among school counsellors. Based on these findings, it was recommended that school counsellors’ job satisfaction could be further enhanced and sustained by government and school administrators by paying adequate attention to the welfare of counsellors in terms of regular promotion, enhanced remunerations, guaranteed job security, adequate social support system and provision of well equipped counselling centres for counselling practice.
