Arts Therapist/ Play Therapist (HCPC/BAPT)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a robust and self-motivated therapist to join the current therapy team in supporting the therapy provision within the school, alongside supporting and sharing the lead on a whole-school approach to well-being. The candidate will have capacity to work with an integrative evidence-based approach both directly and indirectly to meet the various needs of clients. Experience, background or interest in a CBT approach alongside their modality is preferable. They will offer formal sessional work to support students, whilst working with staff and parents alongside promoting well-being through innovating whole school initiatives, advocacy and training/supervision for staff members. The therapist will work independently within the school to manage their caseload and organise the caseload of trainee therapists and volunteer counsellors. They will be supported by the larger therapy team (comprised of therapists from 6 SEMH schools and Alternative Provisions within the Trust), whose fortnightly meetings they will contribute to.
