Job description

Creative Therapist

Salary - up to £50,000 depending on experience

Full time

Location - Newmarket and Wisbech

We are looking for a compassionate and energised creative therapist to join our Specialist Mental Health Service Team.

This is a new opportunity to be part of an evolving and ambitious therapeutic service supporting looked after children and young people with complex emotional and mental health needs. We are committed to creating environments where young people feel safe, understood, connected and genuinely cared for.

We invite applicants from all disciplines to apply; Art Psychotherapists, Music, Play, Dance and Movement or Drama Therapists with experience working with trauma informed approaches. You will be working within an existing multi-disciplinary team, which consists of OT, Psychology and Psychiatry alongside our operations and education colleagues. This role would be to support across 2 sites, one located in Wisbech and one in Newmarket.

Our services support young people who may not meet criteria for inpatient admission, but who require intensive therapeutic support within a residential setting (and with attached school on site). Many of the young people we support have experienced significant trauma, relational adversity and disruptions to care, and present with high levels of emotional distress and risk.

This is an ideal opportunity for a therapist who enjoys dynamic environments, values authentic therapeutic relationships and wants to make a lasting difference in the lives of looked after young people. We expect value relationship-based practice, curiosity, compassion and creativity from our team in their work with young people.
