Music/Creative Therapist

Prospero Teaching are looking for energetic, reliable and motivated mentors to deliver Music/Creative Therapy in the BCP area to support young people needing alternate provision. We provide mentoring to students in early years all the way to post 16, supporting them from 2 to 10 hours per week.

Alternate provision is provided 1:1 in the young person's home or in the local community and is completely tailored to the student's needs to ensure they are getting the best possible support. Music/Creative Therapy involves using music and other creative outlets to help young people with SEN regulate their emotions and build strong relationships with a trusted adult. We also offer play therapy and tuition to young people who require this provision. All of this is with the aim of getting them back into a mainstream or specialist environment where they feel self-assured and positive about the future.

In order to be eligible, we require our Music/Creative Therapists to have at least 6 months of experience working with young people in the past. This may be in the classroom as a teacher (with or without QTS) or supporting as a teaching assistant. Alternatively, you may have been a tutor, a counsellor/therapist, or a support worker. We also require all of our staff to have an enhanced Child and Adult DBS on the update service - we can help you obtain this if you do not have one.

If you would like more information about Prospero's mentoring opportunities, please get in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you!
