About the role
- MHA is the largest care charity in the UK: and a leading provider of awardwinning music therapy in dementia care across the UK. In 2008 we started with just one music therapist and now we employ 30 highly skilled music therapists to work across 67 of our care homes offering dementia care. Our music therapy service was featured in the BBC TV programme Our Dementia Choir and was consulted on for the delicate storyline of dementia on the ITV programme Emmerdale.
- Our service aims to enhance quality of life and help personalise care in care homes. Over the years, we have continued to engage in research for the benefit of residents and have ongoing collaboration with the universities in the UK and EU.
About you
- As a qualified Music Therapist, registered with the Health Care Professions Council, full BAMT membership would be desirable, you will provide both individual and group music therapy to the residents in our care which is funded by charitable donations. The ability to work flexibly as part of the multidisciplinary team in care homes is essential.
- Strong empathic communication and presentation skills are a requisite to be successful in your role. You will be interacting directly with our care home residents through live music therapy sessions; this can be through singing, playing simple percussion instruments, or responding to musical cues, as well as the exchange of verbal, facial, vocal, and bodily expressions in a session. You will also collaborate with care teams, sharing insights and knowledge of residents' changing needs, and helping to create positive ways of reducing stress and improving overall quality of life.
- Ideally you will have experience of working in a care/nursing home setting in any capacity.

- We have a supportive culture, the people at MHA are genuinely warm, friendly and a pleasure to work with.
- High colleague employee engagement scores.

- Colleagues have access to Chaplaincy and Pastoral support.
- Employee Assistance Programme.
- Independent free counselling and legal advice.
