YMCA Together is a registered charity and company Limited by Guarantee.

We were founded in 1846 and so we build on a long history of providing a place for people experiencing challenging times in their lives.

YMCA Together is a truly value driven organisation.

Our vision is that everyone should feel safe, understood, empowered and positive for their future. We meet our vision by working within our values of Strength, Humility, Respect, Empathy and Kindness.

These SHREK values run through all that we do from recruitment to how we work alongside people in our services to our partnership approach with other providers.


Our clear vision and values come together to help us in our mission to inspire and support people to change their lives by instilling hope, valuing the person and maximising potential.

YMCA Together have been developing our Psychologically Informed Services for over 8 years.

We have been using Cognitive Analytical Therapy as a framework for supporting those people who use our services, the staff team and the organisation.

Following significant growth, we now wish to recruit someone to work with us to continue to reflect on and grow and develop how we use CAT across the organisation.


We use CAT both as a case management tool with service users, teams and the organisation and as a direct intervention in our rehabilitation service.

We require someone to work alongside us to facilitate a number of supervision sessions and facilitate training both internally and externally.
