London, Greater London, United Kingdom Remedy Education Full time
Job Description

Remedy Education is seeking an experienced Play Therapist to work in a Secondary SEN school on a full-time basis.

A Play Therapist is a specialized mental health professional who uses play as a therapeutic technique to help children express their emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and cope with various challenges. Play therapy is particularly effective for children because it allows them to communicate and process their feelings in a natural, non-verbal way, which can be especially useful for those who might struggle to express themselves through words alone.

Key Aspects of Play Therapy:
  • Therapeutic Play: Toys, games, art, and other play-based activities are used as tools for children to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. The Play Therapist observes and interacts with the child to gain insights into their inner world.
  • Emotional Expression: Through play, children can express feelings that they might not be able to articulate verbally, such as fear, anger, sadness, or confusion.
  • Therapeutic Relationship: The relationship between the child and the Play Therapist is crucial. The therapist provides a safe, non-judgmental space where the child feels comfortable and understood.
  • Developmental Appropriateness: Play therapy is tailored to the child's developmental level. It's designed to be engaging and accessible, allowing children to process their experiences in a way that makes sense to them.
  • Family Involvement: Often, Play Therapists work with parents or caregivers as part of the therapeutic process. This might involve sessions with the family, providing guidance on how to support the child at home, or helping the family understand the child's behavior and needs.
Situations Where Play Therapy is Used:
  • Emotional or Behavioral Issues: Children dealing with anxiety, depression, aggression, or difficulty with social interactions.
  • Trauma: Children who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or a significant loss.
  • Life Changes: Adjusting to changes like divorce, a new sibling, moving to a new home, or starting a new school.
  • Developmental Disorders: Supporting children with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, or other developmental challenges.

Remedy Education is committed to providing high-quality educational services to children with special educational needs. As a Play Therapist, you will play a vital role in helping children overcome emotional and behavioral challenges, and develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
