Adult Groupwork Team

We are always interested in hearing from qualified mental health professionals with substantial experience of running groups for adults. We are particularly interested in hearing from clinicians who speak Amharic, Arabic, Farsi, French, Tigrinya or Turkish. You will be joining an innovative and exciting team working with people from diverse cultures. You will have the opportunity to increase your skills and contribute to the development of groupwork in this challenging and dynamic field. In addition to assessing for and running a group you are expected to maintain clinical records, attend a fortnightly team meeting and fortnightly supervision. A capacity to adapt your psychological model to meet the needs of this population is essential.

Currently, we are particularly interested in hearing from social workers, occupational therapists and arts therapists. We welcome male volunteers who are currently under-represented in our team.

If you are interested in offering your services to the group work team on a voluntary basis for a minimum of 4.5 hours per week for at least a year please email the HR Administrator on ghanania@torturcare.org.uk
