London, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Arts Therapist (Art, Music or Dance Movement) to join our new Community Forensic LD/ASD Services. We are looking for someone who has excellent communication skills, who is able to work within an emotionally demanding environment to deliver high quality and effective arts therapy provision across North East London with LD/ASD service users discharged from secure forensic inpatient services. We need someone who can work with a high degree of autonomy, who can use initiative in making decisions, is skilled in scoping and forming links with other services and who also works well within teams. An ability to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of managing risk and relational security when working with this client group is essential.

The Forensic Community Learning Disability and Autism Service is an exciting new venture for the ELFT Forensic Service, with an overarching aim of reducing the risk of offending or reoffending of adults with a diagnosis of Learning Disability and/ or Autism.
The team will provide a range of support across North East London, including complex case management and joint work with and consultation to numerous partner agencies such as other areas of the ELFT Forensic Service, criminal justice partners and Community Learning Disability Services, and providing a substantial programme of training.
- Develop and provide Arts Therapies to service users with a range of mental/health needs in a range of settings as required, employing the following specialist skills:

- Plan and develop specialist Arts Therapies with a particular focus on group work in liaison with the Lead Arts Therapist and Multi-disciplinary colleagues
- Assess referred service users, plan and deliver Arts Therapies interventions including in-patient service user/out-patient service user follow-up as required, taking into account risk factors, and complexity of presentation, service user’s need, and service priorities.

Offer specialist treatment for those who would benefit from psychological therapy but find primarily verbal therapy difficult to access e.g. due to thought disorder, cognitive difficulties, emotional withdrawal, language barriers, risk etc.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations

Please could you kindly refer to the job description and person specification attached to this vacancy.
