Complementary Therapist
Full/Part Time hours available
If you are a dynamic individual, skilled in providing complementary therapies, we’d love you to join us.
This is an opportunity to really make a difference to those people that need it most. Complementary therapies can help our patients with symptom control and also provide emotional benefits, as we aim to make their lives a little easier at the most challenging time.
One patient recently said to us, “I find that alternative therapies are really helpful for me. I can get my head in the right place, and that helps me cope with day-to-day things.”
The wellbeing of our patients and their carers, and our own staff and volunteers, is essential so it's important we find an experienced and compassionate practitioner, with great interpersonal skills, who can help develop, deliver, and maintain a high-quality service as part of a small complementary therapy team.
You'll need to have a professional qualification in at least two therapies, and you should have post registration experience as a complementary therapist, ideally working in a healthcare setting.
