Therapy jobs

We are a large-scale, unique and dynamic hospitality and charity project in the Northwest Highlands with strong philanthropic and community commitments. The heart of our operation is on a remote and beautiful 800-acre island and with new exciting developments on the mainland of the Scottish Highlands including a farm and a hotel.   

As our new gardens and food production areas expand both on island and on mainland, with new glasshouses, the recovery of historical agricultural grounds being added to our existing orchards, kitchen gardens and greenhouses, our Head of Gardens and Growing is looking to grow the gardens team.

We are looking for a gardener to join the team and help in producing food for our staff and guests in our tough but bountiful environment at 58°N, while maintaining an impeccable aesthetic centred round heritage, sympathetic materials and craft.

Our land management approach balances production, nature, and heritage, with an emphasis on using the land to build communities. We aim to deliver a year-round supply of fresh and preserved produce, while also fostering soil health and a mosaic of ecosystems blurring the boundaries of productive gardens and wild spaces. This is a core role in the garden team and will involve working closely with the kitchen, land and guest teams, charitable beneficiaries and volunteers, and of course many hours wrestling with our challenging climate and peaty soil.

GROWTH

We are looking for a professional horticulturist: a confident organic gardener, ideally with an interest in agroecological, no-till and regenerative growing principles and potentially in horticultural therapy.  As well as being accomplished in gardening especially vegetable production growing, a strong part of the role will be facilitating guests, school groups and volunteers. There will be many opportunities for training and professional development. The salary for this role will be £29-37k per annum, depending on experience.

COMMUNITIES

Our team is diverse, driven, and hails from across the country and further afield. We have our own growing island community of staff, guests and volunteers, while also being embedded in mainland life in nearby crofting townships and villages. There are opportunities to work with different teams, help look after our animals, beekeeping, sail heritage boats and get involved with island life. We will be happy to discuss flexible shift patterns and shared accommodation with the right candidate.

ENVIRONMENT

You will be working in an area of outstanding natural and cultural heritage amid a range of unique Northwest Highland marine and terrestrial ecosystems, which we are striving to conserve and extend. We foster a culture of care, attention to detail, and creativity in everything we deliver for the Charitable Trust for which we work, from looking after our guests, staff and local communities to growing and sourcing our food to restoring buildings and landscapes.

We are looking for a capable, self-motivated and flexible individual with excellent communication and organisation skills, and a good sense of humour, who will thrive on a challenging project. If you think this role might be for you then please send your CV and cover letter to us. The closing date for applications will be Friday 24th July and we are looking for someone to start work as early as possible. First interviews will be held by Teams, followed up by a visit to the island as the next stage for shortlisted candidates- date tbc.

Oasis Nurture Clinical Lead: a qualified Child Therapist with leadership experience (a qualified Child Psychotherapist or Psychologist (registered) with substantial experience working with children facing adversity)

Oasis St Martin’s Village

Oasis St Martins Village is part of Oasis which is a group of organisations, committed to building stronger communities. Oasis St Martin’s Village, based in Tulse Hill, is a new and exciting project, working in partnership with other organisations in an integrated way, to provide opportunity and pathways for children and young people.

The vision of the Village is to transform the life-chances of children, who are struggling in or not coping with mainstream education, by offering them and their families support and opportunity.

Our work is based around the principle that “it takes a village to raise a child”.

Oasis Nurture

Oasis Nurture is a project that is carried out on the Village. It is a therapeutic intervention designed specifically for those children who might be described as the missing middle – those who do not meet the threshold for an ECHP but who nevertheless struggle to engage with the curriculum for a variety of reasons.

Oasis Nurture is just completing its pilot phase, working with four local schools, offering a two day a week intervention to a small group of children.

As the Clinical Lead, you will ensure the highest standards of therapeutic care, support a team of dedicated practitioners and teachers and collaborate with schools, social services, and mental health agencies to create a wraparound support system for children.

The Role

In this role you will be:

· Providing clinical leadership and case management expertise

· Holding and managing a small caseload of complex therapy cases, providing direct intervention where needed.

· Supervising the team and leading reflective practice

· Fostering a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and kindness within the team.

· Ensuring programme excellence & development, working alongside the leadership team to refine therapeutic models, policies, and safeguarding protocols.

· Ensuring all practice is evidence-based, inclusive, and child-centred.

· Managing data and outcomes, evaluating and reporting impact

Oasis Nurture is not an Alternative Provision; it is a part time intervention designed to support local schools and children and their families.

As this is a newly created role, you will expect some evolution of the role as a result of the development of the project, your insightful input and our combined learning. At the same time, the role provides incredible opportunities for the right person.

To apply, please send your CV and a Supporting Statement (no more than two A4 pages).

Please expand on your CV to tell us about relevant skills, experience and qualifications you have that relate to the job description and person specification.

We will review applications on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close the advert if we identify suitable candidates. To avoid disappointment, please submit your application as soon as possible.

If successful you will be invited to a formal interview (TBC). We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers during the recruitment process, please let us know. 

Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the Oasis ethos.  We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.
