About the role

Central Hub Brighton is looking for an experienced therapist to work 2 days a week across two of our sites working with KS4 students (age 14-16).  Our students have social, emotional and mental health needs and often have histories of trauma.  It is an exciting opportunity to work creatively and in a more long term way with young people in a school setting.

You will be part of a team of therapists who work across the sites, supported by them at a fortnightly meeting where we have both reflective practice and pragmatic sessions.   Supervision will be discussed further at interview.

This is a unique opportunity to develop clinical skills within an educational environment, offering the chance to work collaboratively with a range of professionals and to use therapeutic skills creatively to meet the needs of students.  In return, we offer excellent support from colleagues and staff, commitment to CPD including access to internal and external training.

Your daily caseload will vary but we would expect you to:

• see 5-6 clients a day (within timetabled sessions which may not be full therapy hours)
• be responsible for and deliver some group therapy
• take part in staff briefings and meetings
• take part in and deliver staff training
• liaise effectively with staff within the school and other professional colleagues, parents and carers
• be part of the staff team and take part in the daily life of Central Hub Brighton
• be flexible
• write reports on clients seen twice a year and on request

Essential criteria:

• Significant experience (over 5 years)  of working with young people with histories of trauma
• Use of multiple therapy modalities including talk therapy
• Suitable qualifications for the role (at least to degree level)
• Be able to work on a Monday and one other day
