Job Advert Location Description

Residential Addiction's care - helping our clients to rediscover life beyond addiction. Eden House is the first service in our brand new Division of Residential Addictions. Branded under "Flourish", Eden House will be the first Priory therapy-led residential programme for people seeking meaningful, sustainable recovery from addiction and related behaviours.

Delivered by qualified therapists in a supportive, non-medical setting, it offers an alternative to inpatient treatment. Eden House is ideal for those who don't require detox or ongoing medical support, but would benefit from structured therapy, community connection and practical tools for everyday life. Family support is central to Flourish, addressing emotional, educational and psychological needs - including understanding consequences, managing triggers and building coping strategies.

The programme also supports relapse prevention through strong family engagement. From pre-treatment sessions to evening groups, Flourish includes psycho-education, modern group therapy and a non-12-step, harm-reduction approach. We support both substance and behavioural addictions, with a strong focus on life skills and community reintegration. Available over 14, 28 or 42 days, this really is an exciting new opportunity.

Job Advert Role Description

Essential Criteria:

• BABCP accreditation (accreditation must be active).
• Proven experience in both 1:1 therapy and group facilitation.
• Commitment to professional development and maintaining up-to-date knowledge of evidence-based interventions.

Why Join?

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead a ground breaking new service within the Priory Group, shaping the future of affordable, non-medical residential addiction treatment. The Eden Centre will redefine accessible care, bridging the gap between full hospital pathways and independent recovery services.
