Summary:
Compass Associates are delighted to be partnering with a leading provider of mental health and addiction recovery services as they launch a flagship, therapy-led residential programme in North West London.
This unique and ground-breaking service supports individuals who do not require medical detox but would benefit from immersive, structured, and trauma-informed care. With programmes spanning 14, 28, or 42 days, the service provides support for both substance and behavioural addictions and is built on harm-reduction, non-12-step, person-centred principles.
We are now recruiting across three key therapy roles, offering opportunities for professionals at varying levels of experience - from newly accredited therapists to seasoned clinical leaders.
Your Role at a Glance:
Whether you are starting your therapy career or stepping into service leadership, this is a rare opportunity to contribute to a new model of recovery from the ground up.
* Addictions Therapist & Integrative Therapist & CBT Therapist: Deliver 1:1 and group therapy, support care planning, and work as part of a multi-disciplinary team
* Senior Addictions Therapist: Hold a clinical caseload, supervise junior staff, and lead on complex therapeutic interventions
* Therapy Lead: Shape therapeutic delivery, lead the therapy team, and contribute to operational and clinical development
All roles are based within a highly supportive MDT environment that places ethical, trauma-informed and collaborative care at the forefront of recovery.

* Delivering high-quality, evidence-based 1:1 and group therapy

* Providing supervision to junior therapists (for senior roles)
* Collaborating in clinical case reviews and MDT planning
* Taking ownership of service development projects or clinical areas
* Maintaining accurate clinical records and governance standards
* Promoting a trauma-informed, client-led ethos of care
What We’re Looking For:
* BACP, BABCP or HCPC accreditation (or working towards for entry-level roles)
* Experience in addiction, recovery or mental health therapy
* Strong group therapy facilitation skills
* Alignment with trauma-informed, non-judgmental, person-centred approaches
* Proactive, compassionate and team-oriented mindset
Additional for Senior/Lead Roles:
* Previous experience supervising or mentoring therapists
* Strong service development insight and leadership skills
* Confidence managing complex caseloads
Why Join?
* Be part of a flagship, values-driven residential programme redefining addiction care in the UK
* Deliver care your way – therapeutic, ethical, and person-centred
* Clear CPD and progression pathways, with structured support
* 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
