The opportunity
We are seeking to recruit a Suicide Prevention Therapist to support men in suicidal crisis at our central London centre. We are looking for an experienced mental health professional or therapist with demonstrable interest in suicide prevention. We will work with you and train you to develop your therapeutic skills to offer our collaborative semi-structured psychologically informed intervention. You will support the centre user and their supporter(s) to recover from the suicidal crisis and maintain their safety. You will report to a Senior Suicide Prevention Therapist.

New therapists will join an experienced supportive team and will gradually build a caseload to meet the growth of referral partnerships and increased awareness raising in London. As a part of this phase of our expansion, therapists may be involved in outreach, partnerships and other projects before dedicating their time to a full caseload supporting four men in suicidal crisis per day.
