We are recruiting an Art Psychotherapist for the North East Wandsworth Integrated Recovery Hub (NEW IRH). This is one of four multidisciplinary Integrated Recovery Hubs in Wandsworth and provides specialist assessment, treatment and recovery work for adults with a wide variety of severe and enduring mental health difficulties.
The Wandsworth Arts Psychotherapies Service is a specialist psychotherapies service that provides nonverbal psychotherapies (Art, Music and Dance and movement) to service users under the care of the four IRHs and the Early Intervention Service (EIS) in Wandsworth.
The post is for a qualified art psychotherapist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council and who has at least three years post qualification experience. We will accept applications from applicants who may not have the required length of experience but may have significant relevant experience for a band 7 role.
Responsibilities

* Specialist psychological assessments
* Evidence based art psychotherapy interventions
* Group work
* Teaching, training and consultation to MDT
* Service evaluation, audit and development
* Provide a training placement to a trainee art psychotherapist.
The Trust has a strong commitment to the development of psychological work, and you will be part of a team of arts psychotherapists and the multidisciplinary team. You will receive regular supervision from a senior art psychotherapist and the borough psychology and psychotherapies professional lead. There are good CPD opportunities within the Trust.
