Department: Allied Health Professionals and Psychology
Location: Beacon House
Compensation: £41,200 - £46,000 / year
Beacon House is looking to recruit a Therapy Lead to join the team. This is a full‑time, 37.5‑hour role. It is home to Flourish – our pioneering therapy‑led addiction programme – offering bespoke treatment for a wide range of addictions in a calm, homely environment. Set within a supportive community, Beacon House provides a safe haven away from the stresses of daily life, forming part of our wider network of residential addiction treatment homes across the UK. Delivered by qualified therapists in a non‑medical setting, Flourish offers an alternative to traditional hospital‑based treatment. It’s ideal for people who don’t need a medical detox or ongoing medical care but would benefit from structured therapy, community connection, and practical tools to achieve meaningful, sustainable recovery.
What you’ll be doing
You will be part of a compassionate team who are committed to our patients’ wellbeing. You will play a key part in their recovery, assisting qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans and undertaking routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate patients' wellbeing, dignity, and treatment.
* Leading and supporting a diverse range of therapy staff, including psychology, therapy, and any other specialisms that fall within the team’s therapy needs.
* Facilitating regular management supervision with individuals in line with Priory policy, using a cascade system with other qualified therapists.
* An agreed reduced level of patient‑facing clinical hours to create line management responsibility, as agreed with the Private Business and Therapy Manager.
* Be available for any clinical issues the team may need, for example managing risk, responding to complex patient needs, supporting individual cases with a wider MDT as necessary.
What you’ll bring to the role
Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.
The ideal candidate will be a registered healthcare professional with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) or an accredited psychotherapist with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), or UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). They will have strong leadership capabilities to support and guide a diverse therapy team and substantial experience in addiction services with a strong understanding of therapeutic roles in mental health settings. Candidates should demonstrate proven experience in providing managerial supervision, the ability to remain calm and effective in challenging or high‑pressure situations, and excellent interpersonal and decision‑making skills. Experience working in a commercial environment, with an awareness of cost management and the flexibility to adapt to evolving organisational and business needs, is also essential.
What we will give you in return
We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
