Priory Horizon House
Priory Horizon 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 as part of our existing service, offering bespoke treatment for a wide range of addictions in a calm, homely environment. Set within a supportive community, Horizon 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 is ideal for people who do not need a medical detox or ongoing medical care but would benefit from structured therapy, community connection, and practical tools to achieve meaningful, sustainable recovery.

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Play a key part in patient recovery, assisting qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans
• Undertake routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate patients' wellbeing, dignity, and treatment
• Lead and support a diverse range of therapy staff, including psychology, therapy, and any other specialisms that fall within the team's therapy needs
• Facilitate regular management supervision with individuals in line with Priory policy, using a cascade system with other qualified therapists
• Carry 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, and supporting individual cases with a wider MDT as necessary

Candidate Profile

• Registered healthcare professional with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), or an accredited psychotherapist with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), or UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)
• Strong leadership capabilities to support and guide a diverse therapy team
• Substantial experience in addiction services and a strong understanding of therapeutic roles in mental health settings
• Proven experience in providing managerial supervision
• Ability to remain calm and effective in challenging or high-pressure situations
• Excellent interpersonal and decision-making skills
• Experience working in a commercial environment, with an awareness of cost management and the flexibility to adapt to evolving organisational and business needs

Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.
