SEMH School Provision

Our client is an SEMH SEN provision for students aged 13-18.

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 the capacity to work with an integrative evidence-based approach both directly and indirectly to meet the various needs of clients. 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 help support the caseload of trainee therapists and volunteer counsellors where available. They will be supported by the larger therapy team (comprised of therapists from the 8 SEMH schools and Alternative Provisions), which they will contribute to fortnightly. The candidate will report both to the Head of School and to their line manager.
