Hello! We are delighted you are considering coming to work with us at Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW). We know the power of looking into an organisation, one you might want to work in, or one where you are going to get help, and being able to say, ‘I’ve seen somewhere I can fit in and be myself.’ We’re on a journey to make the Trust an inclusive employer, representative of the community we serve and we want more of our community to consider applying for jobs with us. Job overview
An exciting and rare opportunity has arisen for an Art Psychotherapist to work across our Inpatient Rehabilitation Adult Mental Health wards at St George's Park in Morpeth, Northumberland. You will be joining the Psychological Services Inpatient team, which consists of Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Psychological Therapists, Art Psychotherapists, and Assistant Psychologists.

The post holder will also be part of the Arts Therapies Trust wide Team and will receive regular clinical supervision from a Senior Art Psychotherapist. Main duties of the job
The post will be based across two of our rehabilitation units, which are part of the complex psychosis pathway. One of our wards is male-only, and the other is a mixed ward. The wards have had art psychotherapy input over the past five years, and this has become an established and valued part of our provision. A working day is often varied but may include attendance at multidisciplinary team meetings, individual art therapy sessions, and delivery of an art therapy group. There may also be delivery of team reflective practice and supervision of Trainee Art Psychotherapists, as well as involvement in service-related projects. Detailed job description and main responsibilities
