Family and Systemic Psychotherapist at TCES The Great Minds Therapy

We are seeking a skilled and passionate Family and Systemic Psychotherapist to join our innovative Great Minds Therapy & Training Services. This is hybrid working role, where you will deliver therapeutic provision as part of the Great Minds Projects Team. This new role sits within the Great Minds Projects Team and has been created to support the development of new therapeutic education projects across TCES and beyond. The post-holder will provide high-quality family and systemic psychotherapy input across a varied portfolio of work, including pilot projects, training, consultation, clinical interventions and additional cover across TCES and the National Online School when required.

The role would suit a skilled and adaptable clinician who enjoys working across different contexts, shaping new services and bringing systemic thinking into schools, families, multi-disciplinary teams and project work. The post-holder will join a developing team, with opportunities to build broad experience across direct intervention, service development, consultation and training.

Great Minds Therapy & Training Services, sister to the TCES Group, delivers specialist therapy, training and whole-system support across the UK, helping children and young people feel safe, understood and ready to thrive.

We support individuals facing barriers in education, including those with SEND, complex needs and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), many of whom have experienced extended time away from learning.

Through integrated therapeutic support, expert training and partnership with schools and families, we strengthen wellbeing, rebuild engagement and create inclusive environments where young people can succeed.

Essential requirements to be successful in the role are:

• Postgraduate qualification in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy, or equivalent recognised qualification.
• UKCP registration and membership of the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice, or eligibility to maintain the required professional registration.
• Evidence of continued professional development relevant to systemic practice, children and young people, SEND, trauma, safeguarding and multi-disciplinary working.
• Experience of working with children and young people with SEND, SEMH needs, autism, ADHD, communication needs, sensory needs, trauma histories or other barriers to learning and participation.
• Confidence working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and contributing to shared risk assessment, safeguarding discussions and intervention planning.
• An interest in developing new services and working across varied projects, rather than in one fixed setting only.

In return we offer:

• Competitive salary and terms and conditions.
• An opportunity to make a real difference, to work across a broad range of settings and support train staff and parents in therapeutic principles through Great Minds Therapy and Training Services.
• Continuing Professional Development: paid comprehensive training for all staff.
