At Haven House Children’s Hospice, adapted yoga can give a child time to relax, enjoy movement in a way that suits them or share a quiet moment with their family. We’re looking for a Yoga Therapist to join our Therapies and Wellbeing team and offer that support to babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

You’ll deliver one-to-one and small-group sessions, adapting them to each child’s physical, sensory and communication needs. You’ll work alongside our nursing, therapies and family support teams and involve parents, carers and siblings where appropriate.

You’ll manage your own caseload and independently assess whether a child can safely take part. You’ll use your judgement to adapt or pause a session and know when to seek advice. You’ll keep clear records and report on who is accessing the service, what children and families are getting from it and where there are gaps.

What you’ll bring

• A recognised yoga teaching qualification and training in adapted yoga for children.
• Experience delivering adapted yoga to children with significant disabilities or complex health needs.
• The ability to work independently and communicate in ways that work for each child and family.
• Yoga Therapy registration with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or another Professional Standards Authority-accredited register covering yoga therapy, in place before you start.

Experience in a hospice, paediatric healthcare or palliative care setting is welcome. We’ll provide hospice induction and ongoing supervision.

Haven House is committed to equal opportunities and to safeguarding children and young people. Appointment is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
