Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Arts Psychotherapist (either Art, Music, Dance-Movement or Drama) to work on the newly developed Forensic Learning Disability and Autism (LD-A) Ward which provides specialist care and treatment to people who have an intellectual impairment, some of whom also have an autism diagnosis.

All service-users have additional mental health needs, challenging/offending behaviour, personality disorder and/or a history of problematic substance misuse.

Given that there is increased engagement with the arts psychotherapies in this client population, we are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Arts Psychotherapist to join our multi-disciplinary team, comprising psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, OT and SLT colleagues.

The ward works closely with three other forensic mental health wards (one 15-bedded male medium-secure, one 15-bedded female medium secure, and one 15-bedded male low-secure), a Forensic Outreach Service (FOS) and Support Plus Team, together comprising the Forensic Service.
