Amberleigh Care is a privately owned, specialist therapeutic child care and education service. We are not the same as other residential child care settings in that we have a very defined profile of young people - we do one thing - and we are experts in that field. This means that we do not offer emergency placements, we have very carefully matched and long-term stable placements. Our working model informs the way staff and trained and supported and our multidisciplinary teams are diverse in age, gender, experiences and backgrounds. It works - for children, for staff and for placing local authorities. This role is based in Welshpool, Powys We have a vacancy for one person. We are willing to consider part time or full time hours. All applicants should have the right to work in the UK as Amberleigh Care are unable to sponsor any visa applications at this time A longstanding member of our team is moving on and we are also expanding our team and so we have rare opportunities to join our highly reputable service. We are a dynamic multi-disciplinary team where the triangulation of care, therapy and education underpins the core of our work, delivered in an enthusiastic environment that is forward thinking and in line with all current research. Established in 2004, Amberleigh Care is a national specialist service working with looked after young people (Males, 11-18yrs) who display Harmful Sexual Behaviours (HSB). We have two locations (Welshpool and Telford) that operate as formal Therapeutic Communities. Each site has a large residential children's home, our own independent school and is supported by an in house clinical team comprising therapists of different trainings, Therapy Manager overseeing the TC processes and line management and ultimately supported by the Director of Care and Therapy, an experienced Psychologist with an extensive TC background. Our work is fully evidence based and our communities are fully accredited for TC practice. These are centres of excellence with high quality ratings and very positive outcomes. We provide long-term, planned placements for young people from across the UK. The therapists work involves the initial 12 week assessment of new residents using the AIM3 tool but supported by other psychometrics, this leads to the development of Good Lives Plans to set intervention targets to be addressed across our multi-disciplinary teams. These plans are then reviewed every 3 months to maintain pathway progress and be responsive to changing needs. The role also delivers direct 1:1 therapy with boys on a caseload as well as some oversight of intervention work delivered by keyworkers from the care team. The therapists are visible members of our community and so there is a high level of interaction with staff and boys in the therapeutic 'milieu' as well as providing more structured consultation to teams and supporting the delivery of training to staff. There is a structured 'timetable' across the year that takes account of our school calendar meaning that there are 13 weeks each year where there is no direct work and we have structured 'administration weeks' at regular intervals. This also helps with the structuring of annual leave. There is extensive CPD, training and support, very visible line management and leadership and we fund external clinical supervision relevant to the mode of practice for each therapist. We are very active in specialist practice networks, especially in relation to the field of HSB and Therapeutic Communities, producing articles and presenting at conferences. We are interested to hear from registered therapists from a broad range of professional disciplines - CBT, Psychotherapy, Psychology etc. The current CBT Psychotherapist has additionally been using EMDR and Schema Focussed approaches with some clients when appropriate, but additional training is available depending on the profile of the successful applicant. Experience of AIM Assessment and Good Lives Model are desirable but not essential. Experience of direct delivery with looked after young people is essential as is experience of undertaking assessments, case formulation, engaging with multi-disciplinary professionals and excellent reporting and record keeping. Experience of working with residential settings and/or schools would be advantageous. Job Types: Full-time, Part-time, Permanent Pay: £35,000.00-£37,500.00 per year Additional pay: Loyalty bonus Benefits: Casual dress Company events Company pension Cycle to work scheme Discounted or free food Employee discount Free parking Life insurance On-site parking Sick pay Schedule: Day shift Monday to Friday No weekends Ability to commute/relocate: Welshpool: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required) Education: Bachelor's (required) Experience: Therapy: 1 year (preferred) Licence/Certification: Full UK Driving Licence (required) Work authorisation: United Kingdom (required) Work Location: In person Application deadline: 25/02/2025 Reference ID: Golfa Therapist February 2025 Expected start date: 01/04/2025
