Job description

DescriptionTudor House is looking to recruit a Therapy Lead to join and lead our new team of Therapists within our pioneering therapy-led addiction programme.

This is a new location opening in Northamptonshire - offering bespoke treatment for a wide range of addictions in a calm, homely environment. Set within a supportive community, Tudor House will provide a safe haven away from the stresses of daily life, forming part of our wider network of residential addiction treatment homes across the UK.

Delivered by qualified therapists in a non-medical setting, Flourish offers an alternative to traditional hospital-based treatment. It's ideal for people who don't need a medical detox or ongoing medical care but would benefit from structured therapy, community connection, and practical tools to achieve meaningful, sustainable recovery.

What you'll be doing

You will be part of a compassionate team who are committed to our patients wellbeing. We take a personalised approach, using proven therapies to help people move forward with confidence and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. You will play a key part in their recovery, assisting qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans, and undertaking routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate patients' wellbeing, dignity, and treatment.

Leading and supporting a diverse range of therapy staff, including psychology, therapy, and any other specialisms that fall within the team's therapy needs.

Facilitating regular management supervision with individuals in line with Priory policy, using a cascade system with other qualified therapists.

An agreed reduced level of patient facing clinical hours to create line management responsibility, as agreed with the Private Business and Therapy Manager.

Be available for any clinical issues the team may need, for example managing risk, responding to complex patient needs, supporting individual cases with a wider MDT as necessary.

You can find additional information in the attached job description.

What you will bring to the role

You will be a registered healthcare professional (HCPC) or accredited psychotherapist (BACP, BABCP or UKCP), with substantial experience in addiction services and a strong understanding of therapeutic roles within mental health settings. You will have proven leadership and managerial supervision skills, excellent interpersonal and decision-making abilities, and the confidence to remain calm and effective in challenging or high-pressure situations. Experience in a commercial environment, an awareness of cost management, and the flexibility to respond to changing organisational and business needs are also essential.

What we will give you in return

We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
