Description
Priory Hospital Roehampton is looking to recruit an Addictions Therapist to join the team on West wing. This is a full-time/part-time role.
Priory Hospital Roehampton, a registered hospital in London, is a welcoming and highly respected rehab facility, offering expert mental health and addiction treatment.
We support people facing a wide range of mental health challenges, providing specialist care for depression, anxiety and addictions. Our team offers tailored treatment for substance addictions, including alcohol, cocaine and heroin, as well as behavioural addictions like gambling. We also provide outpatient support for adults with eating disorders.
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.

Candidates should have a minimum of two years' experience working in addiction treatment or a recovery-based setting, with proven experience in delivering group therapy and managing group dynamics. They must demonstrate the ability to conduct thorough clinical assessments and manage risk effectively, as well as possess a strong understanding of trauma-informed approaches and co-occurring mental health conditions. Additionally, current professional registration, up-to-date insurance, and an enhanced DBS check-or willingness to undergo one-are required.

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.
