You'll become part of a team of 11 Art, Drama, and Music Therapists supporting adults, children, and young people with learning disabilities across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.
About the Role
This is a rewarding opportunity to use your creativity and clinical expertise to support people with complex communication, mental health, and behavioral needs. You'll deliver specialist individual and group music therapy, undertake assessments and formulations, and work closely with families, carers, and multidisciplinary colleagues to achieve meaningful outcomes.
As a valued member of our service, you'll also provide specialist advice and consultation, contribute to service development and quality improvement projects, and offer clinical supervision within the Arts Therapies Team.
