Arts Therapies are a dynamic growing workforce across all of ELFT CAMHS with over 30 clinicians across all arts modalities contributing to all our care pathways.
This exciting role builds on the excellent feedback we have had from our young people on their access and involvement in arts therapies.
Our partnership working with them to co-produce interventions and our collaboration with our local communities to embed arts therapies practice in local creative settings is essential to our vision for inclusion.
The successful post holder will join a dynamic and creative team as well as wider Arts Therapies group.

The team has recently expanded to include Luton and we aim to build upon a service which is established within Bedford and Dunstable.

We are looking for someone to join us who has passion and experience of working with looked after children and able to contribute positively to the the growing team.
